Chocolate and Champagne Pairings To Pump Up Your Party
After a big holiday meal, what's better than some chocolate and champagne? Chocolatier Jacques Torres and Sommelier Victoria James share a few of their favorite pairings inspired by the holiday season.
Torres and James walk through three different pairings featuring Jacques Torres Chocolates and Taittinger Champagne. Torres's truffles feature different kinds of champagne including rosé, which James has paired with a similar bottle.
James, who is also the author of "Drink Pink," shares why rosé is such an interesting type of wine. People believe it's new because it's trendy. What they don't realize, however, is that rosé is the oldest kind of wine in existence.
Over 500 restaurants are taking part in New York Restaurant Week, which concludes on Aug. 20. Cheddar News checks in from Dagon Restaurant in the city's Upper West Side to discuss some of its delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes with Chef Ari Bokovza.
Wondering what to watch this weekend? We suggest Mario & Luigi, Meghan Markle before royalty, a bust out of jail guide and perhaps the greatest musician ever!
