I decided to host a small wine and food pairing dinner, it turned out to be a major success. We enjoyed choosing what kind of food to make and which wine to pair it with. My absolute favorite combination was the merlot and the caprese appetizer. I did not enjoy the moscato with the chocolate cake, the chocolate cake ended up being much sweeter than I expected so it was a sweetness overload. Overall the dinner was definitely a fun time and we hope to do it again next week.

| My least favorite pairing was the moscato and the chocolate cake, too sweet. |
