My grocery store had a display of a chocolate flavored red wine.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

It was called something like Choc au Vin or Vin au Choc. I couldn't decide if it was appalling or brilliant or perhaps brilliantly appalling. Then I thought maybe they should have it in the health food aisle as well.

Would you buy it, just for the experience?

1. I can't drink but it might be a good thing to put into a dessert

I have to admit that if I could drink, it sounds like something that would hang up on a tonsil and gag me.

However, if they went the dry route instead of the sweet one, I can see it as an addition to a mole.

Imagine it with a shot of Stinky's alcoholic whipped cream on top for a real taste sensation.

:puke:

4. A parfait of jello shots drizzled with this wine topped with the alcohol cream.

I have seen a couple episodes of Bridezilla where I think this would be a perfect dessert at the rehearsal dinner.

10. Raspberry Jello shots, of course.

2. I'd try it...

This joint makes a chocolate/orange wine that sounds more like a cordial to me About 30 bucks a bottle I'm not a big fan of Orange and chocolate as a combo so I won't be trying this.

This is just a Cab with Dutch Chocolate added. It's about 12 a bottle so it may have to be my first venture into this.

3. That's it! Chocovine.

That is exactly it. You first.

I once made a filet which had chocolate as the secret ingrediant in the sauce and I think it involved red wine as well, so maybe this would be a killer cooking combo

5. I might try it

I've certainly eaten red wine and chocolate together.

I remember going to a restaurant and having a desert with a chocolate/red wine reduction sauce which was heavenly!

6. I saw some of that too, and went

"wo way"

and then thought

"hmm..Interesting"

and then went

"nope"

On edit - now if it had BACON too.....

7. a winery in Astoria Oregon makes chocolate wine.

I've been on a tour there. I think they also make lemon meringue wine.

[eleny]

9. I had to find that winery

They make some interesting flavors.

The lemon meringue sounds so tasty. Lemon is one of my favorite flavors so I keep a jar of lemon curd in the fridge. Even a tiny bit on the edge of a spoon satisfies a craving for lemon pie.

8. A local winery bottled a chocolate flavored port that my wife and I

found very interesting. Nice desert wine, or more like a liqueur. I'd put it on par with amaretto but not so cloyingly sweet. We enjoyed it but a little goes a long way.
