True store.
Last weekend I’m walking through my local liquor store
with 4 bottles of alcohol (three wine, one vodka). The sample lady sees me and
says “What would you like to try?”
WHAT would I like to try? Not even a “WOULD you like to
try something?” Clearly she knew that I was here for the party.
Well thankful for my liquor sample lady, I was able to
test out something that I’ve been meaning to share with you all – CHOCOLATE
WINE.
When I first heard about this concoction, I almost asked sample girl if she had an IV that could just inject me with this stuff. I mean, if this isn't going to send me to Betty Ford (and Reader Dana already hasn't), then I don't know what will.
However, after trying it, it seriously tastes like
Baileys, but with less alcohol content (12% in this wine vs. 14% in the
Baileys). I wasn't that crazy about it. The hubs may be the better judge of this. Sample lady wasn’t any help to explain how this liquid is possibly
made with grapes. So I consulted my BFF Google.
I found a blog called Ladies
with Bottle. They explain that there are two types of Chocolate wine –
Port-style wine infused with dark chocolate OR wine mixed with cream and
chocolate (I think I had that option – again, Wine lady, NO HELP). If you don’t trust the Ladies with Bottle, The
Washington Times says similar things!
Much like a Baileys, I’m seeing that you can mix the
chocolate wines with vodka to up the booze content.
Another true story. I had so many bottles of wine in my
hands, that I forgot what brand I sipped. I THINK it was a PA made wine, but
regardless, here are a few options.
