Valentine’s Day. Which means chocolate and wine. Why not together?
After our Valentine’s date, Dylan and I cracked open a bottle of ‘Sweet Red’, a chocolate-flavored wine from Chocolat Rouge in California. Immediately the smell hit me – a whiff of synthetic chocolate, like a sticker you’d scratch in school or the hind of a My Little Pony.
As for taste, it was like a chocolate-covered cherry. And for a mixture of red wine and chocolate – two rich flavours – it was surprisingly thin.
Saying that, it’s also a pretty impressive blending of the flavours. It tastes like red wine, but it also tastes like chocolate, and none overpowers the other. I can see its appeal as a dessert red wine and it’d be perfect for those who enjoy a White Zinfandel or a Riesling.
But for me it was too sweet and, sadly, it was no Valentine’s love affair.
you’re braver than me lol

It was the first and last time! Well, after I’ve finished the rest of the bottle…
