A Great Valentine's Day Treat: Chocolate and Raspberries

Here's the perfect ending to your Valentine's Day dinner. Chocolate, raspberries and a sparkling wine. Heck, forget perfect endings. Curl up by the fire and make THIS your romantic dinner.

Banfi's Rosa Regale is in a class by itself. About $20 dollars a bottle, it's a sparkling red (not really pink) wine that is sweet, but still has a nice body. For me, it is perfect with chocolate. It also has aromas and tastes of rose and raspberry. So, a toast of this alongside a decadent chocolate mousse cake (I cheat and buy mine at the local market) with raspberries would be sublime. Or chocolate-dipped strawberries. Or just wonderful chocolate by itself.

Enjoy.
