Salon des Vins et de la Gastronomie


Wine and chocolate!

This Saturday I was at the Food and Wine convention, and there was emphasis on the wine. The majority of the booths were wine, with a good amount of foie gras vendors, followed by chocolate, and then other products. It was pretty cool to see and to sample some of the local fare. But this one place caught our eye. Here's a guy who takes wine, and mixes it with chocolate. What you get is an incredible drink. They do one with white chocolate, one with dark, and then they make a cognac as well. I went for the dark chocolate one after tasting it, and if I can, this might be a product to take back. It's really different, and from what I tasted from a tiny sample, it's good! Another funny story, I didn't have enough Euro on me at the moment, so the guy took my American money since he has spent time in the US before, pretty funny. He still gave me a good amount of change back in euros, I think I got a pretty good deal on that small bottle, I'll take it!
