Wine and Chocolate for Valentine's Day
The classic match is with port , as the sweetness and fullness of the wine balances very well with just any kind of chocolate. A half-bottle is plenty for two. Here are some suggestions:
Graham's late bottled vintage 2003 , Code SAQ : 00567255, 12,95 $
Quinta do Infantado late bottled vintage 1998 , Code SAQ : 10216606, 20,45 $
Graham's tawny 20 ans, Code SAQ : 00284307, 29,95 $
Banyuls is a French "cousin" to port, a little lighter in alcohol, but with the same set of rich flavors that match so well with chocolate.
Cuvée Parcé Frères Domaine de la Rectorie Banyuls 2007 , Code SAQ : 10322661, 28,70 $
For dry red wines, try full-bodied reds, like Australian shiraz, wines from the Rhône (or rhône-style blends) or wines from Collioure (the dry version of wines from Banyuls).
Shiraz Rosemount Diamond Label South Eastern Australia 2007 , Code SAQ : 00302349, 16,95 $
Nature Perrin Côtes du Rhône 2007 , Code SAQ : 00918821, 19,15 $ (organic)
Domaine de la Rectorie Côté Mer Collioure 2007 , Code SAQ : 10781242, 28,75 $
A more adventurous match is to go for barbera or nebbiolo, two of the great, great red grapes from Piedmont, in northern Italy. They tend to have cherry aromas, so a chocolate with bits of dried cherry would be an especially good match:
Pio Cesare Barbera d'Alba 2007 , Code SAQ : 00968990, 22,45 $
Occhetti Prunotto Nebbiolo d'Alba 2005 , Code SAQ : 00863597, 27,95 $
