Some Things Should Not Be

I was salivating looking at the wine selection at our local supermarket a few days ago. While looking for sweet wines I found this:
THE HELL, PEOPLE??? Chocolate and marshmallow fluff: GOOD. Chocolate and peanut butter: GOOD (as far as I’m told). Chocolate and pretzels: GOOD. Chocolate and red wine: good, as long as they are separate. Nibble on a piece of chocolate, then sip a little vino. That’s the order of this universe. Whoever came up with this gag-inducing idea was probably hitting the Amsterdam alleys trying to score on some ecstasy, and ended up shooting up some Amdro knock-off instead.

Many of the high end, darker, single bean origin chocolates do taste like wine. There is a whole world of chocolate out there that is full of phrases used by wine connoisseurs – fruity, bouquet, overtones…
I don’t care for the chocolates that taste like wine, though, so I imagine I’ll give this a pass as well.
I would rather drink Drano
I’d rather drink chocolate flavored wine over scotch made from the high-sugar urine of old diabetics! No – really.
Yeek!
Sounds gross…but for some reason I am tempted to want to try it.
This does sound really disgusting. But the combo might work in the other direction. I have a Spanish recipe for rabbit cooked in a chocolate sauce which includes a bit of rioja wine, along with other seasonings. One year I prepared this and served it to a lady friend for Easter dinner. But I didn’t put any chocolate into the wine glasses.
We have had two or three of these bottles grace our house out here in the hinterlands. And surprise! It really is NOT that bad!!
Serve it chilled, and makes for a pleasant desert wine, or with a bit of cheese (light,creamy cheese, like a Brick or a Munster) or fruit.
Don’t know what it was priced at on your end, but we caught it on sale, and for the price was well worth the try.
I give it 2.5 to 3 out of 4 stars.
I’m going to hold out trying this one and wait for a Circus Peanut flavored wine. Oh, or bacon. Oooh, or a combo of the two. Mmmmmm.
Mitch, I don’t think I would drink that whiskey, but the bottles sure are cool!
Guy, I will take your word for it. Yes…yes, I will
Laura, is there anything that cannot be improved by bacon??
That is as disgusting a thing as I’ve ever heard. Wine should taste like…wine.
And Laura, don’t you go giving me any ideas…
It’s sound better than Whipped Cream flavored Vodka….yes it exists
Holy shit…. but the bacon flavored one is good
I had some chocolate red wine at last year’s Christmas party. It was…. interesting. But not disgusting.
If it’s sweet wines you’re after, take a peek for ice wines or maple wine. Keep some insulin handy though, because they’re sweeter than you can imagine.
Chocolate flavoured wine, though…hmm, that’s the sort of thing that might just help me slide another one past the goalie….
