Chocolate and Wine for that Special Valentine

Chances are there may be some chocolate involved in your Valentines Day festivities. Here are a couple great resources for helping you pair that chocolate with the right wine. The first video is from Jonathon Stewart at About.com. He has some great advice for chocolate and wine pairings. Below that I have a wonderful list from Natalie MacLean, from NatalieMacLean.com, who offers her top 10 wine and chocolate matches. And last, but not least, my famous Chocolate Lava Cake video recipe. Enjoy!
