Saturday and Sunday August 9th and 10th, 2008 - 12 to 4pm
Winery Tasting Room
PORT AND CHOCOLATE TASTING!! Don’t miss out on this delectable food and wine pairing, a chocolate lovers dream come true! Join Jim and Linda, owners of Truffle Gateau, as they share with us their unique gourmet truffle.

Baked like a brownie, taste like a truffle. A Truffle Gateau is a unique America-made truffle baked with delicious 100% pure Belgian dark and milk chocolate. People who try their truffles for the first time comment that they remind them of something like a cross between a rich and creamy truffle and a brownie. Either way, the truffles are so rich, yet light and creamy that the most common reaction after tasting them for the first time is a shout of "OH MY GOSH!" followed by, What IS this?" Gateau truffles taste so good because they use only the finest natural ingredients including creamery butter, farm fresh eggs, pure vanilla extract, pure cane sugar, flour and fresh nuts. Combined with the best chocolate in the world mixed with American ingenuity, Jim and Linda definitely came up with a winner! Don’t miss out, it does not get any better than this!
This is a very informal event, reservations are not necessary! YUM!
