How about wine food pairing all in one bowl?

Imagine the heat and humidity of summer. What could be better than to invite a few friends over to cool off with a chilled champagne soup with sun ripened mangoes? An impromptu party is always a good way to raise the spirits! If you have a mango tree in the neighborhood that supplies you with fresh fruit, so much the better. These kind of informal parties are always the BEST!

Try to use a crisp, dry sparkling wine that has a soft, smooth flavor as this pairs well with the sweet tree ripened mango. Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut is my favorite, but you could also use your own personal favorite. This presentation never fails to impress even the most jaded of guests. Served in your best crystal bowls and you will be vying for the next best hostess award!

What to pair with Champagne soup? Try warm croissants fresh from the oven with real sweet cream butter. You can even cheat and use the tube type from the case at the supermarket. These little guys only take a few moments to bake and your guests will never know the difference!

Cloth napkins seem to add a touch of richness, after all we want this to be a special treat, and add fresh cut flowers as a centerpiece. Your guests will think you spent hours on preparation. I promise my lips are sealed!

Wonderful fruit and berries are always available in summertime so be sure to take advantage of this. Dessert could be big, juicy strawberries dipped into a melted healthy dark chocolate. Try using one of those chocolate fountains or use a water bath to safely melt the delicious rich chocolate. Keep the stem on the berry for extra color and it makes a great dipping handle, too! Be careful not to burn yourself when you dip. Cool the berries off on waxed paper and then transfer them to your favorite platter to serve. This is an easy make ahead dessert and can be stored in the fridge for at least a couple of days.

Red wine and dark chocolate is a match made in heaven! I like Concha y Toro Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot. Dark chocolate needs a bold red wine and this Chilean wine fills the bill bringing out the best in both. Be sure to decant in advance and give the wine time to breathe. Yummy!

What about a great cup of coffee for your guests before they leave? This is always a thoughtful gesture and the Austrians invented a coffee beverage hundreds of years ago that really kicked coffee up a notch. A melange is a fifty-fifty mix of coffee and milk stirred up into a foamy top. This delightful beverage is served on a silver tray in most Austrian coffee houses along with a glass of sparkling mineral water. Garnished with a slice of lemon, it makes for a wonderful presentation. Polish up all your garage sale finds of silver and crystal and be sure to set a festive table. Your items do not even have to match.

Wine Food Pairing is not difficult. With just a bit of pre-planning you can show your guests what a terrific host/hostess you are and enjoy the party right along with your friends! CHEERS!
