How to Plan a "kiss Me" Wine & Chocolate Pairing Party

TRY THESE TIPS WHEN PLANNING YOUR OWN "KISS ME" PARTY

What You'll Need

The essential ingredients are Perugina chocolate bars, Baci, and Sutter Home wines.

How much wine and chocolate? One bottle of wine yields about 5–6 glasses. One Perugina Bar serves three guests.

When serving a variety of wines, choose a simple, thin, clear glass with a rounded bowl. This style will best showcase the color, clarity, and aroma of the various wines.


How to Set the Scene

Set the mood by starting the party after dinner and let guests know it’s desserts only.

Chill Moscato, White Zinfandel, Gewürztraminer, and Riesling before serving. All others can be served at room temperature.

Cover a long table with a cloth. Arrange the wine and chocolate buffet-style in tasting order. Start with white and milk chocolate; finish with dark, bittersweet, and other complex flavors.

Prepare a great “kiss” song list with favorites like: “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer, “I’ll Kiss You” by Cyndi Lauper, “It’s in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)” by Betty Everett, “Kiss from a Rose” by Seal, or “Kiss on My List” by Hall & Oates.


For even more fun, ask guests to:

BRING a favorite kissing image—from a personal collection or clipped from a magazine. Set up frames to put the photos in as guests arrive. Make a game out of guessing who brought which photo. It’s a great conversation starter.

SHARE a favorite kissing story—everyone remembers that first kiss or the one that would never end!

MAKE a favorite chocolate dessert. Bonus points for treats that are both light and delicious, like Angel’s
Kiss Baci Cupcakes
. Serve with Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon.
