THE UNION'S CHOCOLATE INFUSION EVENT - BEST IN SHOW PORT


On Sunday I attended the first ever Chocolate Infusion a chocolate and wine event at the Miner's Foundry which was the brain child of The Union Newspaper's MarryAnn Davis. My wife and I pre-ordered our tickets which were $20 or could have been purchased at the door for $25.

There were many people who enjoyed themselves and the event was exactly as advertised.

Included in the entrance fee was a wine and chocolate tasting which included a best in show port (my opinion) from Solune. The favor was very complimentary to Nevada City Chocolate's dark-dark fudge. Lucchesi Vineyard's port was a close second. Sierra Knolls offered a chocolate infused port which was absolutely fabulous when consumed by itself but when paired with chocolate it did not work. It would be best served by itself. 

 The Union as well as the Miner's Foundry should encouraged to host the second annual event in 2014.
