So with that in mind I reached Chris Wildeman of SoBro Spirits — someone who knows wine much better than I — to get the lowdown on which wines will suit your chocolatey desire this Valentine’s Day. 

Here is what Chris had to say:

“Strike like Cupid this Valentine’s Day by bringing dry wine and sweet chocolate together.

“Chocolate and wine are common inventory used in accompanying the mid-February lovers’ tradition, but options aren’t as limited as one might think. It is commonly perceived that only sweet wine can go hand in hand with chocolate. Here is a quick go-to guide sure to steer you in a different direction when pairing sweet treats with dry wines for your special sweetheart.”
 

Dark Chocolate lovers:
“If you prefer dark chocolate,” says Chris, “look towards Australian Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. The bitterness of dark chocolate pairs nicely with the tannic, jammy and full-bodied attack those grapes offer. Bold is definitely the theme here.” Chris suggests that you “give the Inkberry Shiraz-Cab from Australia a try. This is a fun, quality wine, full of voluptuous blue and black fruit.” The good news is it’s great bargain, usually retailing under $15.
