Wine Cellar Sorbets

As a general rule, I am reluctant to write about “products.” And if I do, such items (or services) need to be unique and clever. But it’s incredible people, people with a lot of heart, passion and drive, that really elevate these products, and typically, these are the stories I like to share. Having said that, I would like to introduce you to Brett, David and Wine Cellar Sorbets.
I won’t repeat their story – it’s on their website, www.winecellarsorbets.com – but I can tell you first hand how excited they are about their incredible sorbets. Spend some time with them, and you too will “drink the kool-aid.” Their sorbets are not simply infused with wine flavors, rather they are made with real wine, and their company is not a subsidiary of some multinational food conglomerate. It’s just Dave, Brett and their team and a lot of hard work.
So what does this have to do about weddings? There are some wonderful ways to use these sorbets at your reception. My favorite use is as an accompaniment to your wedding cake. So often, the wedding cake is served alone, and what your guests receive is simply a slab on a plate. Neither the look nor the taste is appealing. Instead, ask your caterer to get some Wine Cellar Sorbet (the Ruby Port Sorbet would be perfect), and tell them to place a scoop in a chocolate tulip, all of this to be served on the same plate as the cake.
Of course, you can also use WCS for the “intermezzo.” But how about creating an hors d’oeuvre with Tuna Tartare and a thimble of Sake Sorbet? Or add a scoop of sorbet to your “signature drink.”
Ask your caterer to get in touch with Wine Cellar Sorbets, and be creative! And by the way, please let us know how you decide to use it for your wedding!
