Sweet Distractions

I found the perfect marriage between a decadent chocolate cupcake and a velvety apricot Sauternes.

There are no words to describe this culinary climax between my love for chocolate and white wine.

Kaleidos of Love

Because that Big, Fat, Nasty wine was so….

…Good!  I’m taking this one for the team!

When you find a lusty bottle of wine that commands respect, you give it up!  This bottle of Kaleidos wine is beyond words.  Imagine exotic cherries dipped in chocolate spices that linger on your tongue.  The creaminess of the coffee flavors enhances the earthy minerals.  Oh, this is love on the taste buds.

Shut up and kiss me Syrah!
