Main Courses

Here are a few tried and tested combinations for pairing up with our dessert wine as well as our dry dinner wine.

Desserts

In the Elephant Island world dessert equates to a food group of it’s very own, a very hallowed place on the recommended food guide pyramid. So go ahead and enjoy any one of the dessert recipes listed for your main course – we do! Some rules of thumb to go by when pairing the Elephant Island dessert wines with these desserts:

(1) Don’t go sweeter (for the solid dessert course) than the wine you are intending to pour with it.

(2) If your using chocolate cups for wine glasses, pour the wine in a few minutes (10-15) before serving. This allows for a very positive marriage of wine & chocolate.

(3) The wine cancels out all calories in the dessert.
