Wine Truffles
Natalie’s Estate
This is something that we make in the fall, though it is delicious any time of year. It is made with our Cabernet Sauvignon and pairs deliciously with a glass of this wine. We also love serving this at our Cellar Club events or any time decadent chocolate is required.

Use a metal cookie scoop to scoop out a truffle. Coat your hands in cocoa powder and gently roll the chocolate until it forms a ball. Roll in cocoa to coat. Keep refrigerated.
