Can Chocolate and Wine Be the Perfect Pairing for a Party?

[NMmommy]

Would that make a good combo? My April host wants to do something easy with wine! She also wants to know how my Margaritaville Party goes this weekend. I want to use the Trifle bowl. (Which I still have to order) I think it would be a great seller with this crowd. I really want to show it off. You ladies are the best with suggestions!

A "sip and dip" party is also fun... you can make a dip in the deep dish baker or small round baker. Or a wine and cheese tasting party... show off those Simple Additions! You could use the Trifle Bowl as a centerpiece, or put chips in it, or something like that.

Don't forget to tell everyone about how red wine and chocolate are good for you with all those anti-oxidants!

Some red wines and champagnes go well with chocolate. Here is an article on pairing them http://wine.about.com/od/winerecommendations/a/winechocolate.htm .

Can I come???? Chocolate and wine sound soooo good right now. There is a quiz on here somewhere about chocolate. Have someone try the wine bottle opener...I LOVE LOVE LOVE ours. I liked the one I had before pc but ours is so much better and easier to use.

I know these don't go in the trifle bowl, but last night I tried the tuxedo brownies and they are sooooo awesome! I can't wait to try them at a show, they turn out beautiful. I am not a wine drinker, but if you have a local wine shop they'd be able to help her/you find a good wine to go with chocolate.

Good luck, it sounds like fun! So does the Margaritaville party, what are you doing for that?
