Mixer & Mingle Fridays : Chocovine

So, shoot me. But this week's Mixer & Mingle actually has no mixer. But hey now, don't go hitting the "x" button just yet... it's definitely worth your time! A few weeks ago miss Aly over at AnALYze This introduced me demanded that I try ChocoVine.
Chocovine is a "Dutch chocolate mixed with fine Cabernet wine" according to their website
but according to Aly (and myself!) it's grown-up chocolate milk! 

I was skeptical, but picked it up from the liquor store shortly after my life was threatened if I didn't try it (ok, slight exaggeration) and had myself a glass that evening. And let me tell you... I didn't hate it! It reminds me of a mudslide, but with the face-flushing effects of wine!

I have never been much of a wine drinker, but this is a nice "baby steps" wine. 

For this weeks Mingle I'm wondering what everyone's Guilty Pleasure song is... you know, the song that you roll your windows up, turn up the volume and sing your heart out.... 

I've got a handful of these, any Marley or Petty song for sure, Nelly is always a fun one to sing (although the older I get, the more I realize that I don't even know the real words to the song, and the lyrics I sing are WAAYY off!) I'm also a fan of Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats and my very favorite would be Kelly Pickler's Red High Heels!

"Dutch chocolate mixed with fine Cabernet wine" wow...I'm not much of a chocolate person but I am pretty sure my boyfriend would love this! As for guilty pleasure song...def would have to be "Bohemian Rhapsody." But I have a lot...in fact all of my favorite songs could probably be considered guilty pleasures!

Def some Carrie Underwood songs. I like to think I sound just like her but I think others would strongly disagree :)

I might just go buy a bottle of this for my friend and I to enjoy tomorrow night after we move her in to her new apartment!
