❤️ Wine & Chocolate ❤️

If you've been to any of our wine tastings at Krantz, then you may be familiar with Tracy's famous chocolate brownie...

We usually bring this out when we get to the big reds towards the end of the night and it always goes down a treat. 🍫

Pairing chocolate and wine can be controversial since sugar isn't always the best wine friend, however, some pairings can be a match made in heaven 😍

Try a few of our favourite pairings at our tasting event with Cocoa Encounters on the 22nd May!

Anti-Dry January 😆

We love wine ❤️

Just look at the way we look at that bottle of Ripa Delle More from Tuscany 😂

That's just one of the reasons why we're practicing Anti-Dry January, but here's a few more:

- January is cold, wet and dull enough as it is! Wine is warming, delicious and a relaxing treat that is well needed throughout January.

- There are 200 different styles of wine, 1,368 different grape varieties and more bottles of wine in the world than we'll ever get to taste...There's no time to waste!

- Think about the hangover on Sunday the 2nd February...🤯

Enough said, but if you are participating in dry January then you have great willpower and we'll see you on February 1st 🍾

Pairing wine and snacks 😋

What wine goes really well with...?

A Lincolnshire poacher crumpet with pickled walnut ketchup and artichoke veloute from .chef snack menu at in Louth 🧀 🍷

White wine - try with Ocean Thrapsithiri from Idaia winery in Crete with it's incredible freshness, savoury notes of salt and olive brine and a vibrant, lemony acidity 🍋

Red wine - nothing beats pairing hard, nutty cheeses with Amarone...🥰 A delicious blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella from Valpolicella....The intense red fruit notes contrast with the salty, nutty flavour in the dish for a delicious foodie experience!
