Notes

 

Wine: I love merlot and pinot noir for this recipe, but honestly, your favorite red will work just fine.

Chocolate: Make sure it is chopped into little pieces so that it melts quickly and easily.  The food processor is great for this if you are using a chocolate bar – break it up into pieces and give it a whirl.
