I recommend a Pinot Noir. I have had a wonderful dessert once where the chocolate was paired with a Pinot Noir. It was really very delicious.

A dessert wine (ie. late harvest or ice wine) would work because it is cheesecake. However, the predominant flavours in those wines are fruits and honey. You're using chocolate so a red wine that has a chocolate flavour and smell would work just as well with this cheesecake. Look for a light to medium bodied red wine because a full bodied red wine tends to work better with meats like steak and game and roasts. Some Shiraz's may work but my suggestion would be a Baco Noir or possibly a Cabernet Franc.

Reds - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir Blush - White Zinfandel, the main frequently occurring, quite for beginners, stated as a "Blush" yet belongs to the purple wine kinfolk. White - Reisling, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminor

For chocolate icing brandy is definitely the drink to mix, remember to add sugar/honey to replace the sweetness brandy takes out.
You can also use a drop orange/lemon Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Triple Rec, Curacao... liqueur with the cheese
With the cake i would recommend Port, Vintage port to make it even fancier.

Try Tobin James "Charisma" Dessert Wine
It is to *DIE* for .... great for sipping too!
Seriously ... it will blend blissfully with the chocolate, and you can serve it with the cheesecake in tiny little appertif glasses. Your guests will be convinced you are a culinary genius!

Masala, Vermouth or strong red wine like Rioja or Beaujoilais

Try a dessert wine. They are very sweet and tend to be thicker than regular wine.

Use a nice light flavoured liquor, cointreau if it is a plain chessecake would be wonderful with the chocolate!!!!
