Broadbent Selections

There is nothing like a great port to wind down a dinner or evening. Then again, a good port can really make any occasion. Broadbent’s Port is one such choice. It’s sweet but not overtly so, compliments chocolates perfectly, but is also quite nice on its own. I’m looking forward to enjoy some with a cigar.
I also have recently tried their Maderia Wine, which hits all the right tasting notes a dessert wine should. Broadbent Selections is known for only carrying a very select collection of wines from around the world. In a way, they serve the function of having a wine connoisseur as a friend without any of the ensuing snobbery.

I too tasted Broadbent Selections wine for the first time at the Unilocal Elite event at Charles Chocolates on Saturday. Unlike most people, the hubby and I made a B line straight to the Broadbent Port and Broadbent Madeira, whilst others started with the three bubbly selections from Battaion Cellars.
The Madeira was the only wine I went back and had to have another taste of before I left. Nothing goes with fine chocolates like a wonderful dessert wine and the Broadbent Madeira hit the spot for me.

I just got back from the Unilocal event at the Charles Chocolate event. I must say I didn’t expect so many different wines for sampling. The Broadbent one was the second wine I tried and they were absolutely fabulous with the blood orange chocolate they had that went well with their dessert wine (I honestly can’t recall the name because I was trying so many different things but I’ll be sure to post it up as soon as I remember). They also had this subtle caramel tasting flavored wine that I think they added some brandy to it I think and though I’m not normally a wine drinker I thought the dessert wines they had were very sweet and pleasing to the palate even to non wine drinkers. My hubby and I will definitely order some for our up coming anniversary. It was a GREAT event and thanks to Unilocal we have yet a new favorite for chocolates and wine!
