Chocolate Wine
Ok, not a REAL chocolate wine but I thought I
would share the following: I got some "Stevia" from the health food store. Stevia now also comes in chocolate flavor. Soooo, I thought, why not add some to a glass of some of my not so great wine. To my surprise it was quite good. You could definitely taste the the "chocolate" flavor. I used two drops but I think you could use only one and tell a big difference. If you have some wine to experiment with - or if you just like chocolate, you might give it a try. It is probably definitely easier than trying to make a chocolate wine from scratch. |

Dang, the local health food stores do not have the liquid or flavors.
So I must order online, so a question - was it milk chocolate or dark chocolate? I also see Chocolate Raspberry, which is tempting. At $10 a bottle, I'd rather get the one proven good. smile.

You could start with about 4 drops per bottle and work up from there if you want more chocolate taste. |

I wondered the same thing.
thanks to Jim, I ordered Stevia in Dark Choco and Dark Choco w/Raspberry - liquid. A couple drops changes a red wine taste, rather nicely for something different. After adding 5 drops to a glass, I wondered if a hot pepper - might give it a cool twist, but could not decide how to do it. Adding Cheyenne pepper powder, was not a good thing. (1/8th teaspoon did not dissolve)so the floatees hit the mouth HOT. smile. wonder if I added a hot pepper and let it soak?

festival and one of the agent was poring red wine and offering a piece of dark chocolate with peppers in the chocolate the combination of chocolate and wine was very interesting.

So, Jim. If Stevia Dark Choco is good for the lady - I think you said
instant pantyhose remover - then adding a little hint of hot - is this for us? haha. OK, i'm doing this - Cab w/hot pepper to soak, and then when serving add a few drops of STevia dark chocolate... I should wait until the weekend, ugh? smile.
