I have had a port like wine from France that was the most Chocolate like...

The bottle was a gift from a little restaurant in Monptparnasse, "le parcs
de cerf".

Great place. I went in for lunch or dinner 4 days in a row...then after a
barge trip returned many times.

Owner gave to me before returning to states.

Wish I could remember the name but it was great. I have the empty bottle
somewhere.
