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.

BTW. I forgot to mention Stevia has ZERO
calories. Happy Holidays to all.

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.

I used the dark chocolate. A couple ounces goes a
LONG way when you are only using a drop or two
per glass.

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

Thank you for the information.

A bit of a twist on this thread; I have toyed with the idea of adding
a dry hot pepper to a mediocre red; some day I will do it. Anyone add
anything unusual to a grape wine to good effect?

Joe

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?

I think you guys mite be on to something, I was just at a wine
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.
