Today I made the chocolate cake and it looks good. Tomorrow we get to taste it with a variety of wines.
I challenge other food bloggers to give aid to those who worked in the food industry and made New Orleans so flavorful:

I'm having some email problems, so I wanted to post my permalink here as well, just in case the email doesn't come through.
Thank you for hosting this very sweet theme!

Yes!
We weren't able to make the cake but had fun pairing 3 different wines with an assortment of chocolates:

I was just in Milan staying at the Hotel Bulgari. they had this amazing garden littered with large chocolate brown couches and candles everywhere.Every night we would go sit in the garden and order a bottle of dessert wine. We had a reciotto twice along with an assortment of handmade truffles filled with fresh coconut, ginger, and coffee beans. Reciotto is my choice for a chocolate accompaniment.
