DC Duby, a pairing of two world-acclaimed patissiers and chocolatiers, announced their ChocoWine Reserve series.

ChocoWine Reserve is a blending of chocolate and wine, to form one very delicious chocolate confection. But it wasn't easy to perfect. Both chocolate and wine contain tannin. When the tannins of both are combined, "they create a very astringent and, to most, very unpleasant sensation in the mouth".

But being the world acclaimed chocolatiers that they are, they put their heads together and figured it out. Thus they bequeath to us, "ChocoWine Reserve", produced with a blend of the worlds' best cocoa bean: the exclusive Criollos. They're filled with a sumptuously smooth nougat made with premium wines, produced by leading Canadian wineries, and pure hazelnut butter.

The series contains five varieties:

• Cabernet Sauvignon


• Merlot


• Pinot Noir


• Riesling Icewine


• Cabernet Franc Icewine
