Sorry Wade, I just can't resist- too funny of a picture. You have a Chocolate-Raspberry Port struggling with a slow Rat. Now that conjures up funny pictures of a drunken rat wrestling down a carboy of Port. Look at the pot belly on that drunken

And how does it taste?

 

[Waldo]

It has a very definite/defined chocolate taste with a hint of rasberry that did not outlast the chocolate. It is more like a liquer to me right now and I am contemplating adding some more oak as it bulk ages. Perhaps a Bulgarian medium toast would complement the chocolate.

 

[Wade E]

I have not seen Bulgarian oak, where do you get that?

 

[Waldo]

ROFLMAO.....Dont drink Bulgarian buttermilk and type at the same time.
That was supposed to be Hungarian wade !!!

You guys make me wish I could have afforded one of those Chocolate Raspberry Ports when they were available. I look at them and hear the descriptions and just drool all over the floor. Cindy needs to mop the floor up every time I read these posts!

Well I know Santa is generous, but times are getting hard, especially with oil. It might not be able to happen.

 

[Wade E]

I dont think you read that right appleman! Please reread and think about it!

 

[grapeman]

Shhhh Wade, I'm trying to butter Santa up some. I'm really not as slow as I look

[Wade E]

I am!

You guys are funny. I am enjoying a glass of the port that would not fit in my carboy or sanitized bottle right now. Yum!

Well I have never thought a wine tasted good at this stage of the game. However I have hada quite generous glass this evening and a small glass last night. It is really tasty. I think the choc rasp is smooth and not overpowering but obviously enough to overcome unfinished wine taste!!

Is there anyway we can get a chocolate flavor into our ordinary homemade fruit wines????
