Wine and Chocolate

What in the world do I mean by Wine and Chocolate? Well, have you ever tried the two together? They are actually very good together. 

 I prefer a very dry red wine like Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon. I do not care for Merlot which seems to be the house wine of choice for so many bars these days. It isn't the taste as much as for whatever reason it gives me an instant headache. 

I do not indulge in the two together very often; especially wine.  Chocolate is a staple, a life source, an almost daily necessity.  However, health issues and daily medications prevent me from indulging in wine very often.  But they each are some of my favorite things to indulge in. So it is the rare special treat for me. 

Wine is soothing and warm, takes the crazy out of the day. Chocolate is sweet and smooth and puts some happy into your mood.
