Raspberries and chocolate are a classic combination.  Here we pair the sauce with a poached pear, which has a sweet fruitiness and a hint of citrus from the lemon and wine poaching liquid.  This supple dessert is the perfect finish to a romantic meal; the fleshiness of the pear and the richness of the chocolate are quite a sensual pairing, evoking thoughts of things to come.
