An Unexpected Duo

In what seems like a 'duh' creation, a couple of friends have developed a line of sorbets that are flavored like different wine varietals. The creamy mix of sorbet with the rich flavor of varietals such as champagne, rose, and sangria come served up Ben and Jerry's style in pint sized tubs, some with the necessary garnish (sangria comes with an orange slice).

This fusion of dessert and wine seems like a great addition to a dinner party on top of being completely refreshing on these long, hot summer nights.

Head on over to Wine Cellar Sorbets and check it out. What do you think? Fusion of wine + sorbet = brilliant? unappetizing?

Which flavor sounds best to you? These sorbets can be scooped up at gourmet grocers near you including Whole Foods.

The company's "Sorbet Sommelier" (totally cheesy) suggests taking your favorite varietal and turning it into a champagne float using this recipe:

Ingredients: 

• your favorite Wine Cellar Sorbet varietal
• semi-sweet sparkling wine
• confectioner sugar

Directions:

1. Powder rim of Champagne flute with sugar
2. Place 2 oz scoop into Champagne flute
3. Pour sparking wine

Interesting combo, not sure I'm sold on the recipe but the sorbet on the other hand just might sneak into my fridge this weekend.
