Hey, everybody,
We had a wonderful chocolate and wine tasting with Paul and Kristin Atkinson, a week ago: About 40 lucky folks came to our place and let P&K walk us through some really great tasting chocolates. Each one was from a different country, but made by the same French chocolatier. Then, we sampled truffles handmade by Cocoa Velvet; ooh la la! My favorite is either the salted caramel (divine with Lange Pinot gris) or the Pomogranate Green Tea Truffle. We enjoyed a sangio, some Dow ports (ruby and tawny), a Madeira (Miles Madeira's Rainwater), and some other reds (including some 2000 Bordeaux); it was surprising how well good chocolate pairs with dry wines! Chocolate-it's not just for port anymore. What a great event! Please give your support to Cocoa Velvet, and let's help them keep growing into a full-time business!
