The gourmet chocolate shop Pieces of Chocolate which opened late last year, located in the Danville Livery in Danville will be offering wine pairings to accompany their chocolate tasting events next month. Check out their schedule here.
From their website:
We offer chocolate tasting events for public and private parties at our cioccolato tasting room in Danville, as well as corporate functions in and around the greater Bay area. Most people have eaten chocolate but few have truly tasted the masterpieces of Chef Michael Barnes. These chocolates are poured and salted by hand honoring the tradition of old world chocolatiers. Our unique approach to tasting chocolate is deliciously fun and educational. Fine chocolate tasting is very similiar to wine tasting in that you use different steps and senses to evaluate the quality and taste of the product.
