Merlot For Valentine's Day

Okay, here's one. What wine goes with Chocolate? Port is the obvious answer. Merlot is somewhat less obvious. Champagne works, too (Mumm's Napa Brut and Chandon are on sale at local supermarkets). But a luscious Merlot is the perfect romantic companion to chocolate. Some Merlots are more chocolate friendly than others. Try Columbia Crest Reserve Merlot! It's a splurge at $30, but she's worth it , isn't she?
