🍫 🍷 the Secret Is Out – a Dessert Wine Collection Worth the Wait!
THE SECRET IS OUT
A DESSERT WINE COLLECTION WORTH THE WAIT
Saturday, September 19 Seating Times: 11:30 AM | 1:30 PM | 3:30 PM Rancho Victoria Vineyard
Exceptional dessert wines cannot be rushed. They require patience, precision, and time. At Rancho Victoria, we were determined not to release ours until they were exactly where we wanted them to be.
Now, the wait is finally over.
Join us for the return of our beloved The Little Secret and the debut of two brand-new dessert wines, Mosher Legacy and Backdraft. Together, they create what may be the finest dessert wine collection in all of Amador County. To make this release even more special, each wine will be served with a handcrafted chocolate from nationally recognized Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates.
WHY GINGER ELIZABETH?
Great wine deserves exceptional chocolate.
Chocolatier Ginger Elizabeth Hahn opened her first Sacramento shop in 2007 and has since received national recognition from Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, Martha Stewart, and Eater, which named Ginger Elizabeth one of the 24 Best Chocolate Shops in America.
Her classical technique, exceptional ingredients, and dedication to Northern California farms and purveyors reflect the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship that goes into every Rancho Victoria wine.
THE PAIRINGS
THE LITTLE SECRET + SWEET CREAM CHAI CHOCOLATE
Caramel, butterscotch, ripe apricot, and toasted hazelnut create a rich and inviting nose. Apricot unfolds into baking spice and vanilla, with the warmth of the brandy balanced by the wine’s sweetness. A lingering note of honey completes the finish.
The silky Sweet Cream Chai Chocolate echoes the wine’s baking spice and vanilla, while its creamy center softens the brandy warmth. Apricot, honey, and caramel bring everything together in a pairing that is rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced.
MOSHER LEGACY + BROWN SUGAR CRÈME BRÛLÉE CHOCOLATE
Caramel and vanilla lead into dried cherry and strawberry preserves. Full-bodied and warming, the wine develops a subtle pecan note before finishing with lingering caramel and vanilla.
The Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée Chocolate mirrors the wine’s caramel and vanilla while its brûléed brown sugar complements the preserved red fruit. The wine’s subtle pecan note adds another layer of richness, creating a pairing reminiscent of an elegant plated dessert.
BACKDRAFT + PALET D’OR CHOCOLATE
Chocolate and dried cherry introduce a dark, concentrated profile. Cherry preserves unfold into mocha and cinnamon, balanced by moderate acidity and followed by a persistent, warming finish of dark cherry and mocha.
Made with 75% Ecuadorian Amazon dark chocolate, the Palet D’Or Chocolate intensifies Backdraft’s mocha and chocolate notes while allowing its dried cherry character to shine. The wine’s acidity balances the richness of the cacao, while its cinnamon warmth carries through the finish for the deepest and most decadent pairing of the collection.
