Fear not, Natalie MacLean has a match-making guide (for food and wine, not love -- sorry) to make you look like a pro and seduce your lover with ease. If you need some quick ideas to get you started, here are her top 10 wine and chocolate matches you can't miss:

1. Dark Chocolate and Banyuls, France
2. Chocolate-Covered Biscotti and Recioto Della Valpolicella, Italy
3. Chocolate-Orange Cake and Liqueur Muscat, Australia
