Never knew about Amaro. Looking forward to buying one of the bottles you recommended. Always fun to try something new.

Excellent advice!

A heavenly after dinner digestif is ½ Ramazotti ½ Fernet Branca (courtesy of the staff at [the former] Damn The Weather gastropub in Pioneer Square)

When I read the title of this post I thought it was going to be about corks & screwtops! Some good advice. I got some amarone recently, I fear it would be infanticide to drink it this year. But great suggestion, with chocolate. Thanks

Bruce, you misread the article. Amaro is not amarone, as I point out. But if you have a sweet style of amarone it could be fine.

Tried amaro with dark chocolate on a dessert date with some friends yesterday. Really great, the amaro stands up to and complements chocolate in a way wine can't. Plus I noticed a one or two sneaking second glasses of amaro on its own. Fernet-Branca--the medicinal tinge appeals to some, for sure. Thanks, never would have put this together on my own!
