Last Saturday I was invited to Rodney Strong Vineyards for their 21st Annual Wine & Chocolate Fantasy event... Which was basically a few rooms dedicated to two of my favorite things!
Some of my favorite parts of the day was drinking a reserve 2008 malbec straight from the barrel (I could not find it on their website unfortunately, but this is a wine you should be on the lookout for), the Sift: a Cupcakery Chocolate Strawberry Cupcakes (yes, they are my client… but come on.. What is not to love?), the Symmetry, a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and other traditional Bordeaux grapes from Alexander Valley and a few of the cashew nut chocolate brittle from a company that I forget (yes, I am a bad blogger for losing my notes).
Jeff Mall from ZiN Restaurant in Healdsburg was on hand to make us laugh and show us how to easily create a chocolate fondue.
Huge thanks to Robert from Rodney Strong for the invite! I look forward to tasting that malbec when it is bottled!
