Stir the coffee, wine and cheese in the pan.  Cook and stir with a whisk for 10 minutes.  Remove the pan from the double boiler.  Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.

Beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract and confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Divide the espresso cream among 8 glasses.  Top each with about 1/2 cup wafter pieces.  Divide the whipped cream and the chocolate among the glasses.  Garnish each with 1 whole wafer.
