Here are some suggestions of Wines to serve at
your party that go well with Chocolate.

Milk Chocolate Wine Suggestions

Pinot Noir (Rex Goliath Pinot Noir $9) or a
lighter-bodied Merlot (try Hogue or Columbia
Crest) will complement a bar of milk
chocolate, a creamy chocolate mousse or
chocolate accented cheesecake. Rieslings,
Muscats (try Bonny Doon's Muscat Vin de
Glaciere 2004 for $15) or dessert wines
tend to hold up well to mild milk
chocolates.

Dark Chocolate Wine Suggestions

Dark or bittersweet chocolates need a wine
that offers a roasted, slightly bitter
flavor itself, with perhaps a hint of its
own chocolate notes. Cabs and Zinfandels
have a history of perfecting the dark
chocolate match, resulting in an
unparalleled tasting combination.
A Cabernet Sauvignon or a Zinfandel
(try Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2004, $30)
will more than fill your chocolate
pairing expectations
