I can’t say this for certain, but there is a good chance that if you follow my blog you have a proclivity for wine and naturally the food that accompanies it.  Be it a stilton and honey with Williams & Humbert Walnut Brown Sherry, a Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape with duck (or just about anything, really) or almost any champagne with popcorn and truffle oil, wine pairings are a real treat.  But with Valentine’s day around the corner, we’re thinking about the chocolate pairings.  Nina Pousette, of My Chocolate Tree,  has graciously offered to woo the heart of one lucky reader with her exclusive artisan chocolates.

These lovely little gems are hand decorated, dipped, and molded with love by Nina.  Nina is a bubbly character who brings smiles wherever she goes!  A Vancouver raised chocolatier who was trained at some of the most prestigious culinary institutes in France, she combines the pride of her craft with as many locally sourced ingredients as she is able.  For example, her lavender truffles are infused with fresh lavender from Langley, BC.

A 13 Piece Box of Chocolates ($32 value)

I could go on and on about the virtues of her chocolates, but I am sure that I already had you at chocolate.

Here is how you can indulge in some of these exclusive treats:

Check out My Chocolate Tree’s website and leave a comment below telling me which one of Nina’s Chocolates you would like to pair with a wine.  On February 10, I will randomly select one reader to win a gift certificate for 32 pieces of mouth watering deliciousness (a $60 value, see above photo for a 13 piece box) to spend at My Chocolate Tree!  The gift certificate can be redeemed immediately for Valentine’s Day, or for winter 2010 (as she does not always have chocolate available).

Feb 3, 2010: I have decided that you can get an extra entry just for tweeting about this giveaway!
