I feel so fortunate to be one of the Event Professional's attending The Essence Tour & Tasting in San Franciso, CA. So, I'm packing my bags and flying the "friendly skies".
This weekened, I'll have the opportunity to explore the flavor profile of hand selected wines, unveiling the mysteries of aromatic essences commonly associated with red and white wines such as green apple, leather, peach, smoke, pineapple, berries or oak. The tour focuses on the influences of soil, climate, and the artful hand of the winemaker. By the way, my Obstetrician gave me the thumbs up with tasting red wine, in moderation of course. A little red wine does wonders for the heart and blood stream, both baby and mine.
San Francisco is at the center of the new wave of artisan chocolatiers. They're experimenting with high quality beans, new methods of production, exotic fillings and breathtaking packaging. It's here that I will learn what makes fine chocolate and get to sample from a wide array of San Francisco gourmet chocolate boutiques....Yum, I can just smell the cocoa beans now!!
What could be better than a day of gourmet chocolate? Tasting that chocolate next to a perfectly matched glass of wine, of course. This Gourmet Chocolate and Wine Tour will train my taste palate on the unique pairings of some of the world's best chocolates and wine combinations.
I'll be sure to snap lots of pictures
