Latest addition to the offerings at our local Publix - ChocoVine from
Holland billed as wine with cream and chocolate flavorings. 14%
alcohol makes me wonder what they started with. Everything else makes
me worry what they ended up with.

Oh yes the Beverage Institute of America gave it a 90!

See http://chocovine.com/ for likely much more than you want to know
about Chocovine. It seems it is blended from French Cabernet with
Dutch chocolate in Holland. Also click the link on the page for the
gold medal awarded to it. How would you pair it with food? Perhaps
with mince meat or pecan pie:-).
