Hello All,
I'm new to wine making. Only on my 2nd wine. I've tasted several commercial wines which, on the label, say they contain "hints of chocolate". I kind of like the flavor and was curious if anyone had made any wine using either cocoa or chocolate. I'm interested in knowing when you put it into the must, how much and would you use cocoa or ground cocoa beans?
Any advice on others experiences with this and how the wines turned out would be great. I'm going to start another 5 gallon black grape wine with blueberries and thought the "hint of chocolate" might be a nice touch, if I can figure out how to add it.
Thanks in advance
