Have You Ever Paired Ice-cream with Wine?
Have you ever paired ice cream with wine?
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, it’s time for us to recommend mooncake pairings. Unlike last year, let’s try something new and talk about ice cream mooncake pairings.
According to wine pairing theory, the wine should be sweeter than the dessert to avoid a flat taste. Medium to high-tannin reds, like Cabernet Sauvignon, can highlight bitterness when paired with sweets.
However, if a Black Forest cake can pair chocolate with sweet wine, why not try lighter-tannin wines with red berry notes and a hint of sweetness to complement ice cream?
Some suggestions from foreign websites include:
* Vanilla ice cream with late-harvest Zinfandel
* Coffee ice cream with Cabernet Sauvignon
* Chocolate chip mint ice cream with Shiraz
* Chocolate ice cream with Italy’s sparkling red wine, which has floral and red berry notes—this might be a great choice!
This Mid-Autumn Festival, why not give it a try and share your tasting reviews together!
