'Tis the Season
A few weeks ago, a friend offered to split a bottle of Chilean cabernet franc with me. A South American varietal traditionally used in Bordeaux blends demanded a more unconventional accompaniment than the predictable duo cheese and baguette. I'm privy to decadence, so I thought,"why not chocolate?" I went to Biagio Fine Chocolate, overly confident in my palate. A 99% cacao bar from Madagascar caught my attention, which caught the attention of the saleslady, who offered a 100% cacao bar instead that "was much less bitter." Confused, I surrendered my ego, and asked which bars she'd recommend with a Chilean cabernet franc. She had toured most of the vineyards in Chile, but nonetheless directed me to two customers -- wine importers interested in wine-chocolate pairings. They advised me well, and gave me information about their business, First Vine. This weekend, Saturday 6-9 P.M and Sunday 3-6 P.M., they'll be at Biagio, 1904 18th Street, offering free wine-chocolate pairing tips and samples. Those with Valentines can buy gifts for their sweethearts, whereas others can simply gorge themselves in good taste.

Thoughts?
I’m sure that I’m the only normal person here. Why would I think so? Because no one normal would have written anything like posts below on this kind of website.
My best friend told me about this site. I thrust him, so I opened my Internet-browser and went surfing! After reading these news I was totally impressed by this article, even if it’s not true it’s written in a way that makes you believe it.
