Premium SelectionWine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient are my top picks for Chocolate. Many sommeliers agree that wine and chocolate aren't really a match made in heaven - at least not the way they are advertised to be. The problem is that dry wines will turn bitter and sour once sweet chocolate hits your tongue. Opt for a dessert wine and you'll have a more successful pairing. The Descendants Liegeois Dupont Mountain Syrah with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.
