CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.Ĭontent ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. If you feel like being daring, buy some filled chocolates and a bottle of bubbly! Voila! You have an enjoyable Valentine’s Day with close friends. Just when it begins to melt, sip the wine again and taste with the chocolate. Take a sip of your wine, then take a small bite of chocolate. Start with your wine: swirl in your glass and take note of the color, then sniff your wine and take note of the aromas. Begin with the lighter chocolates, white, milk, dark, then the semi-sweet, since you are tasting with Port. Semi-Sweet Chocolate: A tawny, or ruby Port usually is the wine that pairs well with semi-sweet chocolate, since the chocolate flavors change from one bite to the next.Īfter assembling all of your guests, grab the wine glasses and the different chocolates, gather around the table and get started. Try a dry Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc from California or France or a Merlot. Milk Chocolate: Many milk chocolates are more on the sweet side in flavor, so usually something with stronger tannin or acidity would pair well. Another alternative would be an Italian Moscato d’Asti. White Chocolate: Late-harvest Rieslings and Icewines seem to complement the creaminess in most white chocolates. Also Syrah and Tawny Port are perfect mates. The following list gives ideas of what to pair with each type of chocolate:ĭark Chocolate: Rich, red wines such as a jammy Zinfandel or a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Then recommend to your friends what type of wine to bring. To start, assign each person a type of chocolate bar: two people buy dark chocolate, two buy white chocolate, two buy milk chocolate, and two buy semi-sweet chocolate. You just need about eight of your friends, a location, and a set of instructions for each of your guests.
