Lonely Wine

If you find yourself sitting alone on a weekend with a box of chocolate cake mix, fudge frosting and $20 to spend on yourself, I have an excellent suggestion. Make your chocolate cake (use Coke instead of water for a carmel-like taste and a fluffier batter) and spread lots of frosting over the whole thing.

While your cake is cooling and such, head over to a wine shop and pick up a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (I personally like Woodbridge 2001). This wine tends to have a nice deep taste with complex aroma and finishes smooth with a chocolate hint along with plum or various fruits. It is usually a dinner wine, but I like it with nice rich chocolates and depressing movies. Great pairing and the bottle doesn't seem as threatening halfway through.
