Harbinger Happenings for 2011 Red Wine and Chocolate Festival

Several new wines as well as a beer will be released for this event; the 2008 Bolero (a seductive blend of Tempranillo and Grenache), our locally grown and produced Raspberry Bliss, and a Venezuelan Chocolate Porter.

We will be featuring several chocolate manufacturers, both who focus on organic and fair trade products. TAZA chocolates will be used in ways that will defy logic yet please the palate. Chocolate-dipped potato chips with a Dynamo Red reduction sauce…you’ll never look at a bag of Ruffles the same again! One of our local bakeries is creating bite-sized “Pan au Chocolates” which will be sampled with our award winning Syrah. Dark chocolate cake flecked with chunks of organic chocolates and topped with a caramel and sea salt drizzle will be paired with our newly released 2008 Bolero. An organic “Killer” Mexican hot chocolate will be served for our non-imbibing and under-aged guests.

If this isn’t enough wine and chocolate for folks we will again be featuring our reserve wine and Theo Chocolate’s aphrodisiac chocolate pairing behind the velvet curtain of our VIP room. Be prepared for a carnival of culinary delights at Harbinger Winery & Brew House.
