Wine + Chocolate = Happiness!





How could it not? And thanks to the Dove website, they've even paired wines with chocolate to get the best flavors and enjoyment out of the two when paired together. Here are some notations on what they feel is fitting:



DOVE® Silky Smooth Milk Chocolate with a Merlot or a Tawny Port. The Merlot adds a substance and body to each silky smooth taste, while the nutty Tawny Port brings out the creamy caramel flavor hidden in each bit e of DOVE® Milk Chocolate.

DOVE® Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate - With a subtle, fruity Ruby Port. The essence of a dark chocolate like DOVE® - with its notes of red fruit, plums, cherries and vanilla balances perfectly with a glass of sweet port.
