Default What to drink with "gourmet" chocolate

My sister sent me a sampler box of bittersweet chocolate, and I'm thinking
of having a small chocolate-tasting party. (see
http://www.chocosphere.com/Html/Products/amedei.html and look at the "I Cru"
Origin Sampler Box)

I'm a bit stumped on what to drink. I want something which will complement
the chocolate but not have a strong flavor of its own. I'm thinking along
the lines of apricot nectar, cran-cherry juice, or milk, but none of them
seem quite right either. Coffee seems like it would be too
strongly-flavored, and I don't care for tea with chocolate. My sister
suggested port, but I'm not real enthusiastic about the idea. I'm not
particularly averse to alcohol, but since we'll be having at least six sips,
I'd rather not have anything *too* alcoholic. Red wine would be a
possibility, but one of my guests suspects that it's a migraine trigger for
her (though chocolate is not).

Any suggestions?

Bob
