Country Heritage Wine and DeBrand Chocolate Pairings …
“When no one understands you … Chocolate is there”
When you think of the United States and fine wine, you’d typically be thinking about vintages from Napa Valley in California. Yet some delicious wines hale from other parts of the country. Perhaps most surprisingly, Indiana! I recently participated in the International Food, Wine, and Travel Writers Association’s wine and chocolate pairings featuring Country Heritage Wine and DeBrand Fine Chocolates .
Full disclosure: the items were provided to us (shipped to our homes) from the two companies to allow us to participate as a group by Zoom webinar. The chocolates, in two boxes, one squares and one truffles, made them hard to resist until the webinar commenced. The explanatory guide made them even more tempting, delivered in a refrigerated box. The wine, which had to be signed for by an adult over 21 and whose delivery to California is restricted but possible through a special process, arrived in a separate crate later. It appears that it can only be shipped to the 50 United States.
Ashley Baumgartner, the director of marketing for Country Heritage Winery and Vineyards in LaOtto, Indiana, played a pivotal role in promoting and highlighting the incredible Indiana wines and suggested the chocolate pairings. Her expertise and passion for these local treasures have undoubtedly contributed to the success and recognition they deserve. Her love of wine started when she was the club manager for a private island and was able to do food and wine pairings for the members. Today, Country Heritage Winery and Vineyard has three locations, all located in Indiana and is the largest vineyard in the state with 101 acres.
