making a chocolate pot style wine

Hi all,
I was wondering how would I go about making a chocolate port style wine.
I know this is crazy as the chocolate seems to be an issue. Joe gave me some ideas but I need to start from scratch, Raspberry wine fruit base. some good cocoa, I have thought of Penzys. 1/2 madagascar vanilla bean in the in the secondary and a maraschino cherries with the syrup in the secondary. Or should I consider modifying a coffee port as Joe has suggested.
I know this is kinda crazy , especially since I have a chocolate port on order.
I would also want to make a 3 gallon port.

suggestions, ideas would be appreciated.

sincerely,
Corinth
ps: I most I have to lose is time, some money and of course, my sanity

May need to go to Colorado for that one.

using proper cocoa powder is the key. See Jack Keller wine blog regarding use of Dutch chocolate. Penzy's has that powder.

someone of goo reputation,
You may be on something when you mentioned coffee. NOt a straight coffee but a mocha style, which could be considered a coffee and cocoa combination.

A raspberry base plus a lot of tweaks or

a mocha style with a lot of tweaks

some high volume gasoline such as a raspberry chamboard as a a flavor tweak.

raspberry port

Sal: any ideas for a raspberry base? I read the jack keller blog on chocolate. if I remember correctly, not too many were that enthused but one person detailed the chocolate issue in detail-now to find it

Thanks
Corinth

I used the raspberry base puree. use two can for the 3 gallon level. Penzy has the chocolate powder you need for this recipe.
