(Yountville, CA) About six years ago, Colleen Topper, proprietor of Goosecross Cellars, wanted to offer something special, romantic and a little different for Valentine's Day at their premium, boutique winery located in Napa Valley. Brainstorming with a local artisan chocolate-maker, the ideas evolved beyond the typical wine-filled chocolates to a unique concept: dipping an entire bottle of wine into chocolate.

It took a little experimentation, but it's down to a science now. First, Goosecross selects one of their premium red wines that best complements the chocolate. Next, the chocolatier shrink-wraps the full bottle of wine, dips it into a half-pound of dark or milk chocolate, and then finishes it with a festive cellophane gift wrap. The instructions are simple: remove the decorative paper, break the chocolate away by beginning at the neck and peeling down the shrink-wrap, then enjoy the chocolate with your wine. It's the ultimate indulgence!

Goosecross' chocolate-dipped bottles of wine make Valentine's Day, birthdays, honeymoons, anniversaries and other special occasions more romantic and fun. Unique wines and chocolate-dipped bottles can be ordered online at www.goosecross.com
