Chocolate Wine - Sweet Tooth Wine?

The popularity of chocolate wines (blends of wine infused with chocolate flavorings) has increased in the last few years. The two types are port-style wines infused with dark chocolate or wine mixed with cream and chocolate.

Chocolate wine is generally served chilled as a dessert wine. They are popular during holidays such as Valentine Day or Easter, however, I think they are also great for the Christmas holiday as well. Your guests may initially hesitant to try a chocolate wine but will enjoy it once they have sampled.

ChocoVine is one of the most popular chocolate wines on the market. They are the makers of ChocoVine Original (taste of decadent chocolate), ChocoVine Whipped Cream (creamy vanilla sweetness), ChocoVine Espresso (roasting coffee beans and cocoa) and ChocoVine Raspberry (fresh flavors of ripe berries.

Other chocolate wines include Cocoa di Vine (a blend of cream and white wines including Torrontes, Moscato, and Pedro Ximenez), Desiree by Rosenblum Cellars (a blend of chocolate and three grapes Zinfandel, Syrah and Touriga Nacional), and Black Beauty by Black Mesa Winery in New Mexico (Zinfandel and Cabernet franc grapes infused in chocolate).
