Some of you my remember last year when I started my Cherry Chocolate wine back in June 2010. I toasted some raw almonds and added those to three gallons of it. I bottled the six gallon total back in April and it was pretty rough tasting, especially the one with almonds. For the heck of it I entered a bottle of the cherry chocolate in a competition and it took second place in September but I thought it was still a little young. Today we sampled both the wine with just chocolate and the one with chocolate and almonds. The chocolate cherry was very good but the cherry chocolate with almonds was actually much better and more mellow. Yes, you could pick up the almond taste after the cherry/chocolate.
