One last sweet pairing for February? Wine not

- BY STEFANI DIAS

To round out a month of love — because isn’t that what February’s all about? — treat your sweetheart or yourself to a special pairing at Tlo Wines.

This week is your last chance to enjoy either a collection of curated desserts or chocolates paired with Tlo’s wines.

The chocolate pairing features confection­s made by Le Cordon Bleu pastry chef Yana Todorova of Todorovi Boutique Desserts. A pink chocolate heart is served with chardonnay, a crunchy chocolate bar goes with cabernet sauvignon, a milk chocolate heart pairs with a reserve syrah and a chocolate truffle with walnuts is served with a reserve malbec. An olive oil caramel chocolate bon bon is a bonus treat that can be enjoyed with any of the wines.

Desserts from local business Taste Bakery make up the other pairings with the following combinatio­ns: rosé with a lemon Italiano cookie, roussanne with a dark chocolate cake ball coated in white chocolate with orange zest, petite sirah with a double chocolate chip Oreo cookie and late harvest muscat with a brown butter sugar cookie with tangerine and marcona almond.

Each pairing is $30 and must be reserved by calling 864-7086 or at tlowines.com. Pairings are available from 2 to 6 p.m. today and Saturday at the Tlo Wines Tasting Room, 1212 18th St.
