Cheers to wine and chocolate!

Derek and I had a date night last night attending the Cheers to Wine and Chocolate fundraiser event supporting OK Music. So fun! The wine/cheese and wine/chocolate pairings were fantastic! 

Our double date: Jon and Shelley Vilardo

The even started off with a dry champagne with heavy appetizers. The wine tasting portion started with a Prosecco paired with a fantastic parmesean cheese. 




American style dark chocolate truffle paired with a  Gewurtztraminer.  Amazing! 



We then had a blue cheese paired with a Port. I am not a big fan of sweet Port wines, but this combo was amazing. 

Then we had a European style Dark chocolate truffle with raspberry/chocolate filling paired with Rosa Regale. 

The most delectable wine/cheese combination was a dry red Mourdevre paired with an asagio cheese!

And the best chocolate of the evening, Fortunado Four dark chocolate truffle paired with Port wine. 

The wines from our evening! 

The guys going home with extra leftover wine! 



It’s fun to get dressed up once in a while! 



What a great evening!!!!
