and even MORE [weird] Chocolate!
t says: The last little bit of chooclate that I saw, but did not experience, myself, is depicted below.
What the what?
What … the … what?
Maybe a has more experience with these things than I, as he’s a little more in tune with the wine world, but if this is the first time he’s reading about it, I’m sure this picture makes him want to vomit a little. Even g had a visceral reaction to the description and picture. As for me, I have no idea what this must taste like and am curious. On one hand, it has the consistency of Baileys in the bottle (I picked one up and jiggled it) – maybe a little thinner. And they promise “premium grape wine” … and chocolate … so now I’m confused. I did have some “chocolate wine” at Tria once, but that was more of a zinfandel fortified with chocolate flavor – not something like this which is creamy-looking. And, after all, the cow on the label looks like he/she’s having fun, so that’s gotta mean something, right?
At the time, I had no choice but to pass on this bottle – my hands were full and I was already dropping some cash on other purchases. But … for $10 … is it worth a try? Who’s with me?
<Insert the sounds of crickets chirping here …>
I can say that while I have not had that particular brand, I have tried what is essentially the same thing. It got mostly love it or hate it reactions. I thought it was decent, especially for the price. It’s kind of like alcoholic yohoo? It really tastes nothing like wine and you would never know that it was made with grapes unless someone told you.
