My mom came for dinner last week and she (as any properly trained mother should do) brought with her a bottle of wine.  We enjoyed a remarkably delicious Green Truck Organic Sauvignon Blanc.

After dinner, I (as any properly trained daughter should do) brought out chocolate for dessert.  I was in the mood for a Lindt Excellence Intense Orange Dark Chocolate bar.  As I took a bite, I noticed I had a swallow of wine left in my glass and drank it.  The chocolate was still in my mouth, and the result of this accidental pairing was, well, it was meant to be! 

Green Truck Organic Sauvignon Blanc had crisp flavors of lemon peel, grapefruit and orange blossom.  The citrus flavors from the wine brought out the delicate orange notes from the chocolate as well as the bitter, dark cocoa flavors.

The combination was out of this world good. 

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are organically grown by the Bartolucci Family of Mendocino, California for Red Truck Winery.  Their organic line of wines are under the Green Truck label.

My mom is coming for dinner again tonight.  I wonder what after-dinner discoveries are waiting for us!

Enjoy!
