First Up - ChocoVine



This is the wine we were looking at when we decided to start our blog wine journal. Chocolate wine! How could it not be good?

We poured ourselves a glass (screw top bottle, gotta love easy) and sat out in the perfect Florida weather to enjoy.

It was pretty good - in small doses. It's incredibly sweet and has a consistency more like a liqueur than wine. You can taste the red wine in the background, and very sweet chocolate in the front. I don't think it would be good with any food except maybe not too sweet cookies like biscotti. Unfortunately I can't stand biscotti so straight wine it is.

I think this wine would be best for special occasions when you want to pick up something different for friends to try. Anyone have a suggestion of what would be served with chocolate wine for family and friends?

  1. I agree that the Chocowine was good in small quanities as an after diner wine.

  2. THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD SUGGEST WITH THIS WINE WOULD BE ICE. IT IS MORE LIKE A LIQUER AND REMINDS ME OF BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM. GREAT FOR A COLD EVENING AFTER DINNER.
