Suggested Wines
- Meritage (Dry Red)
- Cabernet Franc (Dry Red)
A classic brownie makes a good base for this rich twist on a chocolate sauce, though this recipe would work well over fruit or dark chocolate cake. The fruitiness of the Chambourd helps draw out the fruit notes in a dry red wine such as Cabernet Franc.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate stout beer
- 3.5 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped or chips
