| 75 | | | 87 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Milk chocolate is terrific with light-bodied dry red wines. Young Beaujolais and Pinot Noirs make perfect milk chocolate companions. Savory rather than fruit sweet, as Pinot Noir from Oregon tends to be, this medium-bodied dry red wine shows a translucent cherry red color. Delicate red fruit aromas prepare for the palate’s enjoyment of red fruit. Tannins are soft. The wine is not complicated, and the acidity seems higher than in the 2006, giving the wine the sensation of a really tart apple. Serve at cool room temperatures, about 65ºF/17ºC in wide, round glasses. Chocolate: BRIX milk chocolate; Hershey’s Krackle (milk chocolate and rice); Hershey’s Heath Bar (milk chocolate-covered toffee). Other foods: creamy liver pâté; grilled vegetables, grilled salmon, roasted pork tenderloin (pink) with mushrooms; smoked pork; with tomato-based barbecue sauce (or not as you prefer) grilled chicken breast with black bean salsa; roast chicken; creamy cheeses (Délice de Bourgogne; Cambozola). The 2006 works well, too, maybe even better, and is still available in half bottles, $15.
