A dessert wine is an excellent way to entice your sweetie on Valentines Day, and so is chocolate. The beauty of the Trentadue Chocolate Amore dessert wine is that it has both. It is a Merlot based, Port style dessert wine infused with chocolate. This romantic and succulent treat is a little more than you may normally invest, but is still very reasonable (around $25). It's what you might say is more of a "special occasion" wine, like for Valentines Day, perhaps. I discovered it at a tasting a few years ago, and it opened up my palate to dessert wines. Absolutely delicious! I'm planning on pairing mine with dark chocolate truffles...

If you're looking for something pink and sparkling for V-Day, don't forget the Cristalino Brut Rose Cava (see my previous entry, Thanksgiving Wines 11-28-08, for details). At around $8, it's the best! I may indulge in this one before the Chocolate Amore...
