This sounds very similar to what I tried, from the "Chocovine" Dutch brand. It was horrible. A few friends and I had just returned from France where we had acquired tastes for good (although sometimes cheap) wine and chocolate, so one girl thought it would be fun to have a tasting that combined the two. None of us could take more than two sips. It didn't taste like wine at all, especially not red wine. More like vodka mixed with disgustingly sweet chocolate milk. If you're into that, go for it. It also formed this weird layer of oily film on top of the "wine" if you let it sit. Absolutely awful. Again, I have never tried this particular brand, but I would caution against spending $30 for this miserable experiment.

It was so adorable. When I was there *maybe 10 years ago* it was run by this little old man who was like a cute gnome showing us all the wines. I hope that older gentleman is still around. They make really interesting wines. Some totally different flavors. (I remember a cranberry wine I tried to introduce to my family at Thanksgiving). It's not for everyone (and most of them were very sweet when I was there, but it was definately different. Wow I’ve *been* to that winery. It was so adorable.
