The Chocolate Shop NW Chocolate Festival 2011

“The Chocolate Lover’s Wine, takes the perfect pairing – Chocolate and Wine – to the next level, marrying fine wine and rich dark chocolate to create an indulgent wine experience like no other.”

 

This chocolate gem was tucked away in the Beer and Wine garden section of the Aphrodisiac Room. One can’t miss the large glass containers of malt balls on The Chocolate Shop’s table.  Only a couple of booths were promoting wine and spirits at the time I was there, but I got enough to get a taste and do a wine and chocolate pairing at the same time.

 

The Chocolate Shop was promoting their Chocolate Red wine. I naturally assumed it was going to be full-bodied like a port wine but after tasting a sample, it was light with a hint of sweetness and full of chocolate aromas. The flavors lingers on your tongue giving you a lasting finish..

 

To satisfy your other taste buds, this company also produces Creme de Cocoa (chocolate cream wine) and Chocolate Strawberry Red wine, Triple Cream Reserve (chocolate cream wine) and the Box of Chocolate Red wine. I haven’t tried them yet as these were not available at the festival,  but it does sound yummy.

 

For more information visit their site: www.chocolateshopwine.com. These bottles are available in local US supermarkets.
