Last night- Chocolate Vino and Chocolate Mint Cigar

Last night I broke out the chocolate wine.  Yes, you read it right...chocolate and wine.  Chocolate d' Vine
From the bottle:
This indulgent red wine is accented with velvety rich mocha and dark chocolate flavor and a smooth, lingering hint of juicy ripe red raspberries.  Serve slightly chilled.  Produced and bottled by Southwest Wines, Deming, NM .
The wine is sweet and leaves an aftertaste in your mouth as if you allowed a piece of rich dark chocolate to slowly melt in your mouth.  The raspberry flavor is also prevalent.  If you have ever had a chocolate dessert with raspberry sauce, this is it.
So I have been saving this wine for just the right time and when I busted out the chocolate mint cigar, I knew it was the right fit.

  This Drew Estate, Rocky Patel concoction is the Java Mint.  When I opened the wrapper and took a whiff, it smelled just like an Andes chocolate mint after dinner candy.  When lit, you get the scent of cocoa and coffee.  I used a punch on the square cap, and the draw was very easy all the way through.
The first 1/3 of the cigar remains sweet and tingles in your mouth as if you just ate a butter mint.  It is a sparkly, tingly feeling that lasts.  The second 1/3 of it turns more rich and looses it's sweetness, but you still get the tingle of mint, without a lot of the flavor.
