Like most people, I crave a sweet treat at the end of a meal.  In the summer, when food is generally on the lighter side, I like something sweet but not TOO sweet.

After you‘ve eaten your grilled chicken breasts and pasta salad, try this pairing between Ghirardelli LUXE MILK™ Toffee and Round Hill Chardonnay.

The Milk Chocolate with Toffee has bold buttery and crunchy toffee bits that blend very well with the subtle chocolaty notes and intense creamy flavors of the milk chocolate.  The Chardonnay adds more butter and toffee notes with hints of vanilla, apricot, and spice.

I bought both these items at my local grocery store.  The 2009 Round Hill Chardonnay was a bargain at $6.49 (on their website it still sells for a reasonable $8.00).  I liked the wine by itself, too!

Oh, one more thing.  Just recently, a friend of mine asked me how to pronounce Ghirardelli as she had heard at least two different variations.   Since I also have had that experience, I went to the ultimate authority.  The Ghirardelli website.   

According to the company, you should say Gear-ar-delly!

Now go and enjoy your Toffee Gear-ar-delly with the Round Hill Shar-doe-nay!
