Chocolate Wine Recipes?
I would love to make a Cocoa Di Vine clone. Has anyone ever made a chocolate wine before? Any tips or recipes? I cant seem to find too much info on it since it is so new and seems to be a brewery's best kept secret due to its overwhelming popularity. All I can find is that It is made from white wine and its chocolate flavored. BTW if you haven't had it, It taste like chocolate milk with a slight alcohol hotness. Its AMAZING!

It seems to me the wine and the chocolate is two seperate processes. Make wine, Make the chocolate then mix. The food network link is probably how they go about that.
Sound's like e_motto's on to the right idea. They probably start with a mild flavored white wine, like a riesling. A chardonay would probably have too much oak flavor to blend well. Never had the stuff but it sounds good.
I was thinking that since there are so many flavoured vodka's out there you might check out vodka makers to see how they do it. There are definately many chocolate flavored vodka's. Up the road from me in Lewiston ME there is a distillery that infuses a french vodka (pinacle) with whip cream flavor! Who knows how they do that but if you make a screwdriver with it it tastes like a creamsickle or stewarts orange and cream soda! It also goes good in rootbeer (rootbeer float 
) Crazy flavor additives out there.
I tried making chocolate wine, but stomping the chocolate didn't work out too well...
just kidding, never even had it. my sister tells me its really good though. I know some beer recipes call for chocolate in the fermenter, but I hear that makes a big mess. look up recipes for Young's double chocolate stout, and maybe you can take the methods used in making that beer and apply it to making wine. or just make a clone of Youngs double chocolate stout, that beer is excellent.
