whats your take on pairing chocolates with wine? can it ever be a very worthwhile pairing? do you have any specific chocolate recommendations when it is to be paired with wine? (brands, cocoa percentage, etc.)

I love bittersweet chocolate and wine. In Great Tastes Made Simple I have a warm flourless chocolate cake recipe that is spectacular with madeira

Very dark chocolate or chocolate truffles are wonderful with certain Aussie Shirazes, American Zins and Merlots and Cabs, and Amarone.

I am not a chocolate expert so I can't give you cocoa percentages. I have very much enjoyed Valrhona dark chocolate with the aforementioned wines.
