Because there's chocolate involved, even a nice port or late harvest Zinfandel. Yummy!

I can't think of a time when this strategy has failed me. I often like Cava, but have not tried with smores. When in doubt, go with bubbly. I can’t think of a time when this strategy has failed me.

Try with interesting chocolates too, like those infused with chilies, or w/salted caramel, etc. I set it on a rock near the fire, too....just gotta be patient.

I'd also have to throw in with a late harvest Zin, like Liquid Love by Tobin James or perhaps even the dessert wine by Rosenblum, Désirée.
