We always enjoy hosting our Hanukkah party for friends and family. It’s an evening filled with so many good times, conversation and – of course- excellent food. I’m usually in the kitchen frying latkes for quite a while. Because they should be served warm, that means I don’t finish up the batch until the guests have all arrived and can grab a latke fresh from the pan. That also means guests are typically waiting a bit to fix their plates. Thankfully, there is a great way to entertain while they wait – Clos du Bois wines and BROOKSIDE chocolate.

BROOKSIDE Chocolate
BROOKSIDE Chocolate is rich, dark chocolate with sweetened soft centers made with exotic fruit flavors. It’s chocolate like you’ve never experienced before. read more
Clos du Bois
Clos du Bois began with a vision of blending fine French winemaking techniques with the best Sonoma grapes to craft a range of balanced, approachable wines. Year after year, their wines have been appreciated by both wine critics and wine lovers alike.

As eager as our guests were to see the table spread with tasty dishes, once they bit into the soft, sweet BROOKSIDE chocolate and followed up with a sip of Clos du Bois wine – they were perfectly happy to mingle and chat a bit longer. Who could blame them? I have to admit, I wandered into the dining room myself, more than once, to sneak chocolates and a wine refill between latke batches.

Some Perfect Pairings For Your Guests

#1 Winner: Clos du Bois Pinot Noir and BROOKSIDE Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Flavor
This wine is a beautiful ruby red color, with aromas of cherry, dried roses, and earthy undertones. The sweet cherry fruit flavor is wrapped in a silky, rich, and lush texture. BROOKSIDE Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Flavor balances very well with the cherry and toasty oak tones of the wine.
