🍷ValenWINE & Chocolate Pairings💝

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and if you haven't gotten something special for the Valentine in your life, you still have time! One of the most popular choices, is obviously chocolate, but what about pairing up some of the favorite chocolate with impeccable wine? At Seven Springs Winery, not only do we have the scoop on the best wine pairings for that box of chocolate, but we also have some information for the best Valentine's Date at the Lake of the Ozarks - so stay tuned!

Pair by Color

When choosing the best Lake of the Ozarks wine to pair with your chocolate, you want to pair by color. White chocolate and white wine always go well together, while the heavy reds go well with bittersweet chocolates. The reason behind this is that the dark chocolates and deep coloured wine have a higher tannin content than their lighter counterparts - and they pair deliciously together.

Pair By Sweetness

Another consideration when pairing your wine and chocolate is to pair based off of sweetness. You'll want to pair your most sweet white wines with your white chocolates and your bittersweet chocolates with your least sweet wines.

A good rule of thumb is to make sure that your wine is always slightly sweeter than your chocolate.

A Few Suggestions

Need a few ideas? Here are some chocolate pairings that will go well with our Lake of the Ozarks wine:

Chocolate: Praline
Wine: Chardonel

From the medium body flavors with the fruity and toasted oak undertones make for a perfect pairing with a praline chocolate. They can have equal sweetness, and if it's a lighter chocolate, you'll find that the wine pairs nicely.

Chocolate: Caramel
Wine: Syrah

Caramel chocolate goes divinely with our Syrah wine. The currant and blackberry flavors will complement it well, while the black pepper and subtle vanilla oak finish is extraordinary with a caramel chocolate. Many caramel chocolates boast of a mid to dark chocolate coating, and our red syrah is a perfect pair.

Chocolate: Berries
Wine: Blushing Springs

When indulging in a berry chocolate, you want something that will be equally sweet and flavorful. This sparkling red wine has sweet berry aromas and a semi-sweet finish. From raspberry to pomegranate, we think this will be a special pair for your next berry chocolate.

Chocolate: Citrus
Wine: Vignoles

Citrus flavored chocolates have both a unique flavor profile, along with a varied sweetness. We think that our Vignoles wine would be a perfect pair, from the mid-straw color and olive green tone to the flavorful body with peach, melon, and citrus.

Valentine's Day at the Lake of the Ozarks

While chocolate and wine are great, you may want to do a little more for the love of your life on February 14th. This romantic dinner will be on February 14th, and reservations can be made from 5 to 8 PM depending on reservations that are available. It's going to be a fantastic three course dinner featuring Caesar salad, 10 oz K.C. Strip and Lobster Tail with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, and turtle cheesecake to finish out the evening. Reservations are required for $99 per couple, so give our Lake of the Ozarks winery a call to reserve yoru spot for you and your special someone. Happy Valentine's Day from Seven Springs Winery!

What Your Favorite Wine Says About Your Love Life

The season of love is upon us, and we know exactly how you should celebrate! While we love LOVE, we also love wine, and we have many different varieties that will tickle your taste buds and remind you of romance. Many people have a specific wine that suits their fancy, and we thought it would be fun to see which Missouri Wine would match your love life. Here are a few of our special Seven Springs wines and what they have to say about your love life!

Chardonel

A good Chardonel is complex, bold and intense, and you know a good relationship is the same. You may be a person who plays it safe in love, but don't be afraid to enjoy yourself!

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir can be a grape that requires a lot of attention throughout the entire winemaking process, but the final results are so amazing that it's worth every ounce of work. Your relationship may not always be the easiest, but you know it's worth the effort, so keep at it!

Syrah

This dark red wine may show that you and your valentine are conscious of health. The dark red shade of your wine shows that you like to get the antioxidants in, and choose a beverage that reflects your athletic lifestyle.

Blushing Springs

The sweet berry aromas in this wine may mean that you always look at life with a sweet and fresh perspective. If you like this sparkling red wine, we believe you have a love life that sparkles with fun and enthusiasm!

Dry Rougeon

This wine sounds like it's bold, red, and very dry, but it's actually light-bodied, without any tannins and a delicious berry finish. Like this wine, your love life may look rather dry and even boring from the outside, but on the inside, it's full of excitement, surprises, and adventures that you get to keep all to yourselves.

Spring Fling

This light bodied wine has a fruit forward sparkling finish. Your love life may be like this wine if it's fun and maybe even a little flirty. You're always looking for a good fling, full of fun and intrigue. The lime green rim and citrus and lychee flavors may even imply that you're a bit exotic too.

Seven's Red Heaven

Beautiful. Deep. Refreshing. Just a few words that describe this wine, and if it's your favorite - it may just describe your love life too! Crisp fruit flavors and the distinct sweet finish mean that your love is savory and refreshing.

Enjoy a Romantic Meal With Seven Springs Winery

Romance is in the air, and we love the way it sounds. Luxurious flavors, pink and red decorations, red and white roses everywhere, and our favorite, lots of wine! While there are many ways you can enjoy this weekend of love and romance, one of the best memories can be made at Seven Springs Winery for our Valentine's Day Dinner. Here are a few fun facts about Valentine's Day, and our menu to get your mouth watering.

In Victorian times, it was considered bad luck to sign a Valentine’s Day card.

Based on retail statistics, about 3 % of pet owners will give Valentine’s Day gifts to their pets.

Many believe the X symbol became synonymous with the kiss in medieval times. People who couldn't write their names signed in front of a witness with an X. The X was then kissed to show their sincerity.

Richard Cadbury produced the first box of chocolates for Valentine's Day in the late 1800s.

More than 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate will be sold for Valentine's Day.

15 percent of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day.

6 million marriage proposals are made each year on Valentine's Day

The most popular theory about Valentine's Day origin is that Emperor Claudius II didn't want Roman men to marry during wartime. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret weddings. For this, Valentine was jailed and executed. While in jail, he wrote a note to the jailer's daughter signing it "from your Valentine".

7 Wine Tips You Should Know for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Couples all over will be celebrating with a romantic dinner and nothing says romance better than candle light and glass of your favorite Lake of the Ozarks wine. From how to properly pop the cork to removing an accidental wine stain, these tips from MaineBeerandWine.com could come in handy this Valentine's Day!

1. Popping the Cork. 

Just like with any relationship, getting off to a good start always helps. To open a bottle of wine, cut the foil all the way around the rim of the bottle and remove it. If you're using a waiter's corkscrew, penetrate the cork slightly off center so that the "worm" of the corkscrew will feed into the center. If you're using a double-clutch corkscrew, use the first stop to loosen the cork about halfway and then use the longer stop to pry it completely out.

2. Mastering the Pour. 

If you're looking to impress that special someone, you'll want to properly pour the wine into their glass for them. When you start to pour, try not to clang the neck of the bottle with the edge of the glass. When you're finished pouring, slightly twist the bottle upward to keep it from dripping.

3. Removing a Stain.

You want the night to be perfect, but sometimes nerves can get the best of us. If you happen to spill some wine, it's important you know how to save yourself and your clothes. Try blotting the spill with a paper towel and then immerse it in soda water. Blot it again and apply a baking soda paste. You could also consider using a product like Wineaway.

4. Using the Correct Wine Glass.

Scientific studies have been conducted and there is a method behind the madness of different types of wine glasses. If you're serving a red wine, the glass should be generally larger and have a bigger bowl. If you're serving wine, you'll want a narrower, taller glass. Some companies even make glasses specific to the type of grape used in the wine, but you don't need to get that fancy tomorrow.

5. Pairing Wine with Chocolate. 

Seven Springs Syrah will pair perfectly with chocolates because of it's richness of currant and blackberry flavors. The dense, textured mouth-feel can't be beat with chocolate. Stop by our winery at the Lake of the Ozarks and pick up a bottle for tomorrow!

6. Storing Wine. 

One of the most important things to remember when storing wine is the temperature of the environment in which you will be storing it. The basic rule of thumb is about 50 degrees. Equally important is the serving temperature of the wine. American's typically consume white wines too cold and warm wines too warm, which has a major impact on the flavor. Based on a starting point of 50 degrees, you should refrigerate white wine 3 to 4 hours before serving. For red wines, you should remove the bottle from the storage area about 20 minutes before serving.

7. Increasing Desire. 

As with any type of alcohol, wine has been known to increase a persons sexual desire. Wine has been used used for centuries as a natural aphrodisiac. In particular, red wine is rich in an antioxidant which increases estrogen production. In general, wine helps people relax and stimulates their senses. Seven Springs Winery has several different red wines for you to choose from for this romantic holiday.

Seven Springs Winery wishes you a very Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you choose to stay in with a bottle of wine or go out to celebrate, our Lake of the Ozarks winery has you covered.
