While NYC.com offers you dozens of recommendations on how to celebrate romantically on the big day, I can highly recommend an event on February 11th that will delight you and your best beloved: a stunning selection of artisan-made couverture chocolates and four wine varietals, tasting at SoHo's Divalicious Chocolate.
Jackie Gordon, along with experts from Wine Therapy, will guide you through each pairing, giving a detailed explanation of the chocolate-making process, of pairing chocolate and wines, and of the best consumption practices. This event is limited to just 18 participants, and it is a sit-down event. Each attendee will be provided with an individual tasting plate with a raw cacao bean and six artisan, couverture chocolates from some of the world’s finest chocolate makers (e.g., Michel Cluizel, Valrhona, Guittard, etc.) as well as a score sheet, flavor wheel and rating scale to write down thoughts and reactions to each chocolate. Each table will be set with palate cleansers and water as well as wine for tasting.
