1/2 cup butter
1 tbsp Cabernet Sauvignon or other Merlot
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
6 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon and ground ginger

Butter 4 6oz custard cups or souffle dishes. Place on baking sheet

Microwave chocolate and butter in bowl on High 1 minute or until butter is melted. Whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in wine, vanilla, sugar until blended.

Whisk in eggs and yolk. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spoon evenly into prepared dishes.

Bake at 425 for 15 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand 1 minute. Loosen edges with knife, invert onto serving plates. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar if desired.

NOTE: Nice presentation to drizzle chocolate sauce on the dinner dessert and sprinkle with sugar and a raspberry and mint leaf put on top. It would also go well with vanilla ice cream.
