For gift giving or hosting, there’s no better duo than chocolate and wine. . If you are looking for some great pairings, here are some of my favorites. There is nothing a bottle of wine and luxury chocolate can’t fix. We often only think of dark chocolate and red wine but don’t overlook the white wine and white chocolate combo. Let me know your favorites in the comments!
