Leaving Cibo’s after a wonderful meal without trying a delicious dessert wine is like leaving the movie theatre before the credits are over. You’re going to miss out on the full experience. Remember “Anchorman” and “Shrek 2”? Don’t be in such a rush. Stay for that last laugh and dip some biscotti in your Vin Santo.
We have four delicious dessert wines to choose from that we know you’ll enjoy. The Selvapiana with it’s hint of butterscotch. The “Ben Rye” you’ll love for it’s sweet apricot and honey. The Chapoutier from Banyuls, France teases you with cocoa. The “Casa Lola” has a wonderful combination of almond and honey.
When your meal is cleared, and the Vin Santo is presented in the long-stemmed, tulip-shaped glasses, everyone starts to relax and conversations really start to flow. We chose these special dessert wines with that perfect ending in mind. They are worth waiting for!
