Dark chocolate red wine ganache

In a small saucepan, bring cream to a simmer.

In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and red wine. Pour simmering cream over
the chocolate mixture and allow it to sit for 1 minute. Slowly stir the chocolate
mixture with a whisk or spatula until the ganache becomes uniformly smooth and
no chunks of chocolate remain.

Allow ganache to cool and thicken for at least 20 minutes. The ganache should be
thick enough to pour, but not so fluid that it pools around the sides of the cake.
Pour ganache onto the cake and spread as needed with an offset spatula. Allow
ganache to set before slicing and serving.
