you know here in Savannah if you know
0:11
anything about us you know that we can
0:13
be very decadent in fact sometimes we're
0:16
just downright devilish and that's what
0:18
we're going to be at tonight's party
0:20
we're skipping the meal we're going
0:22
straight to desserts and Cocktails but
0:25
before we start our show today I feel
0:28
that I need to speak with a wine expert
0:30
to help us pair our wines up with all
0:33
these incredible desserts that we're
0:34
going to be having
0:37
tonight you know Margaret Mitchell once
0:40
wrote that the blood red Furs of the
0:41
north Georgia Foothills made the best
0:44
cotton land in the world but what she
0:46
forgot to mention was that it also makes
0:49
some pretty fine wine and I couldn't be
0:51
luckier because one of my dearest
0:53
Friends Dan bwin happens to run this
0:56
itty bitty Winery down the road called
0:58
Chateau Alain just just outside Atlanta
1:01
and you know Dan knows more about my
1:03
food than I know about his wine so let's
1:06
go see what he's got for
1:08
us Dan what I'm trying to do here today
1:12
is match up my dessert wines with the
1:15
desserts that I prepared and I'm hoping
1:17
that you can help me dessert wines by
1:19
definition are are sweet wines including
1:22
a pork a cherry a cream sherry and some
1:25
of our musine wines here listen to this
1:27
now to go with your wonderful wines not
1:30
your mama's banana
1:31
pudding now what would what would you
1:33
have me serve with that well we might
1:36
very well uh have a have this Duncan
1:38
Creek musine wine or possibly even this
1:41
Peach flavored Summer Wine it would go
1:43
lovely with that dessert why is that
1:46
well because the the Duncan Creek has a
1:48
lovely musine flavor that is kind of a
1:51
wild fruity character that uh might even
1:54
be described as tropical we go go along
1:56
nicely with the bananas and the peach
1:58
would not be too far off from that that
2:00
flavor also what else are you going to
2:01
be having Paula lemon curd pudding well
2:04
for the lemon dish I believe the peach
2:06
musk would work very nicely with that
2:08
and the peach is is actually
2:10
um not peach colored at all no it's a
2:15
peach Essence that makes that nice Aroma
2:17
smell
2:19
that I think this is just perfect for
2:22
the lemon curd pudding thank you very
2:25
much glad you're enjoying it delicious
2:29
delicious all right now what can we do
2:31
for that pecan shortbread I have a very
2:33
lovely cream cherry here that is both
2:35
sweet and we pair very lovely with nuts
2:38
and the pecans will pair very well with
2:40
this Cherry has a nice nutty character
2:42
all of it all its own why are we in this
2:45
sweet wine territory with our desserts
2:48
at the end of the meal we have uh we
2:50
have very robust flavors we have a uh
2:53
chocolate cheeses coffee cigars and some
2:57
of these dessert ones pair very well
