When Brix owners met up with Philip Goodband, Master of Wine, one of 300 of the highest level wine experts in the world, he tasted something very special in the pairings.
"It is the degree of bitterness combined with the other ingredients that is the key." As Philip says: "Brix has a different set of textures, something in the formula that I'm not privy to but whatever it is, it works." Philip helped Brix to write the tasting guide in the gift set so you are getting his expertise. He commented: "The new tasting kit is the perfect way for you and your friends to discover your favorite wine and Brix Chocolate pairings."
An ideal gift for the wine enthusiast, the tasting set is available at gourmet retailers, wineries or at the Brix Online Store.
