Smokey Red Wine and Chocolate Chili
“This recipe brings back memories! I first made this dish for my wife and I over the holidays a few years ago. It tastes phenomenal and the unexpected flavors are bold and blend well together. The red wine brings it all out! As soon as the season changes and cold weather is on the horizon, this is a staple in our home!”
