Zinfandel wine party

[Innkeeper]

Hi DenverWine, and welcome to the Wine Board. Be sure to jazz up the steak with smoke and mild spices, lest it just be cabernet fodder. Stay away from acid in the salad and veggies. Blue cheese dressing much better than one with vinegar. Stay away from tomatoes. Zin is not known for being overly acidic. Salty cheeses and most any bread would go nice. For the chocolate you might look for a late harvest zin.
