[Cook sister!] Like wine for chocolate - another WBW non-contribution: When I was deciding what wine to pair with the Zotter chocolate, this sweet frutiness combined with its balancing acid sprang to mind. I did also consider trying to find a particularly chocolatey Merlot, or even to bend the rules and have the chocolate with a bottle of the utterly indulgent Young's double chocolate stout (just do yourself a favour, people. 

[LENNDEVOURS] Wine Blogging Wednesday #13 Round Up -- Like Wine for Chocolate: IMG Winechocolate_1 September's vintage of Wine Blogging Wednesday has come and gone -- so head on over to Chocolate& Zucchini and read Clotilde's round up of WBW #13 Like Water for Chocolate...

 [Winecast] Roundup of WBW 13 Posted: An amazing array of wines matched with Clotilde’s great chocolate cake recipe. I’d better get on the stick and record the podcast to go with my post before WBW 14 is announced

[Appellation Australia] WBW #13 - Cambewarra Estate “Louise” Botrytis Chardonnay 2003: Zucchini hosts Wine Blogging Wednesday #13 with a theme of “Like Wine for Chocolate”, the idea being to bake a chocolate cake and then choose a wine to match it. Clotilde even kindly provided a recipe for a chocolate cake.

 [Winecast] Winecast 39 - Like Wine for Chocolate: My theory was that ripeness and high alcohol would lessen the perception of sweetness and the jammy ripeness of the old vine Zin would match with the richness of the cake better than wines that naturally have chocolate flavors, such as Merlot.

[thepassionatecook] Like wine for chocolate - Wine Blogging Wednesday: But to be honest, all patriotism (and people who know me can attest that I am the most unpatriotic person alive) aside, the best wines for chocolate are definitely made of red grapes! I had memories of Italian dessert wines which I found to be a good match, but then recalled buying a sweet Sherry from a German producer at the "Taste of London"

[LENNDEVOURS] Wine Blogging Wednesday #13 -- Four Wines for Chocolate?: Knowing that my in-laws (who were in town) read LENNDEVOURS and love trying new wines...I thought dinner last Friday night the perfect time to unleash these wines...along with a cake Nena baked following Clotilde's recipe.

[An Obsession with Food] WTN: 1999 Vintage Port, Smith Woodhouse: "To spend the day at, say, Koehler-Ruprecht," he starts," and the afternoon at, say, Müller-Catoir, is to taste two amazingly great but COMPLETELY MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE families of wines." Wine makers in the region go their own way and produce markedly different styles of wines from one of the most diverse set of grapes in Germany. His attempt to categorize wines from the Pfalz is, naturally, poetic, "Let's start with this: Pfalz wine shows a unique marriage of generosity and elegance;

[Ismyblogburning.com] Is My Blog Burning - The latest food blogging events: The theme idea is great, because it introduces yet another line of possible theme for WBW that can involve both pure wine lovers as well as more reluctant foodies that are not that much into just wine reviews.

 [Spittoon - wine drink and food.] Wine Blogging Wednesday 13 - With Chocolate.: port was too obvious, an excellent Australian fortified muscat I have detailed before and while there were several likely candidates sampled at a recent tasting I can't recall ever sampling a Marsala. Then I noted that I could use some in a recipe for Guinea Fowl and the decision was sealed!

 [Chocolateandzucchini.com] Chocolate & Zucchini: Announcing WBW13: Like Wine For Chocolate: Below, you will find my super-easy recipe for Melt-in-your-mouth Chocolate Cake (a variation of the cake I featured many moons ago), but you should feel free to use your own recipe or simply buy it from your favorite bakery. However, to make our entries comparable it should preferably be a dense and moist chocolate cake -- think nut-less brownies.

[Lennthompson.typepad.com] LENNDEVOURS: Wine Blogging Wednesday: It must come from a New World wine nation that isn't the U.S., which leaves you places such as Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and Chile.
