Hello, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Dillon here; Karen is a bit under the weather with pneumonia. We had already decided on a wine, made preparations to drink it over the phone together as usual, so I will take one for the team and drink it alone. I let Karen know that I would manage the wine drinking so she could get some rest and not worry herself about trying to drink anything. That caused us to erupt into laughter and she was able to cough some of that pesky sludge from her chest. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a good friend’s birthday party. While there I tasted a new wine which opened up a whole new experience in wine drinking for me. I finally found a red that I like. ChocoVine! It’s a smooth blend of Dutch chocolate and red wine. I was very skeptical when it was mentioned and even refused the taste by saying, “no, there’s no need to open a new bottle.” The new bottle was opened because, no worries, it has a six month refrigerator life after opening. That scared the living heck out of me! Wine with a six month life after opening? What’s in there – formaldehyde? After I tasted this bizarre combination, I knew why they put that disclaimer on the back. This wine won’t last six months in anyone’s fridge. It’s good. Amazingly good! It’s smooth, somewhat thick, and chocolaty in my mouth, but the finish burns slightly on the back of my tongue. I absolutely love it, without a doubt, no questions … I love it. I love it so much I accidentally “tasted” the entire bottle and ended up trying to write this blog about half drunk. Because, on top of this wine’s great taste it packs a 14% alcohol by volume whollop. Guys, if you want the perfect evening with your date, serve this wine chilled. Nothing will matter, it’s PMS proof, bad day proof, you don’t know a darned thing about wine proof. Perfect! And, it is reasonably priced as well - $9.99 a bottle. Next time you can’t decide between a box of chocolates and a fine wine as a gift, get ChocoVine, it’s the perfect box of chocolates and fine wine in one nice low priced bottle. You can find it at Khoury’s fine wine and spirits on South Eastern or Durango. Cheers, Dillon & Karen's blessings Add Comment |   Psychedelic Wine Spike Dillon LaBonte
