New...?

Late pass

I bought this for my mom for Christmas and we both kind of liked it. It tastes like chocolatey cough syrup by itself, but mixed with milk it's the only thing that can really cure the anxiety of the holidays.

Back in college, girls would put Jolly Ranchers in their Zima.

I guess this really isn't like that.

This pops up occasionally on another forum I frequent. I can't imagine a reason for drinking this other than a dare.

I don't know- Xocolatl de David, a local choco-dude, makes bars with stuff like olive oil and pigskin in them. They tend to be tasty. Chocolate and wine could, maybe, kind of work. Possibly.

Or, it could taste like liquid desperation, which is my gut reaction.

They handed out samples a few years ago at Cost Plus World Market, and it was not nearly as bad as it might seem. Kinda good, even. For chocolate wine.

The name seems like it's a play on coq au vin, so.... there may be some cock in there.

@Colin - Finish the bottle, and then we'll talk.

I've had the pleasure of tasting two different kinds of chocolate-flavored wine. One was spit-out terrible, and the other was completely tolerable. (In a guilty, low-rent way, it tasted like Kahlua, which is also guilty and low-rent, as alcohol goes.) But for the life of me, I can't remember which one of them was ChocoVine.

How could anything with that many tulips on the label be bad? @Denis, are you thinking of Chocolate Shop wine? Because I cried in pain when I drank that.
