Hello Chocolate Lovers!
You can catch me in Alexandria, VA today, as I am tasting out some of our confections at the Sugar Cube in Alexandria. I will be there from 1pm - 4pm this afternoon.
The candy store is located at 210 N. Lee St. - that is just one and a half blocks from King Street. Come on by and find your old fashioned and almost forgotten American classics, but also some delicious European confections 
If you missed me this morning talking about us on the first annual DC Wine & Country Festival - check out the video now:
There are still tickets to be purchased - availability is limited, so get them while you can!
See you tonight or on the weekend
- Wilhelm
… for the Wine Club Event at Cork & Fork in Gainesville, VA tonight.
This event is a special gathering of Cork & Fork’s VIP guest list and we are happy to be able to supply all connoisseurs with our chocolate confections tonight.

Hello Chocolate Lovers and Connoisseurs,
This weekend we will be visiting our friends at Chrysalis Vineyards for their annual Jazz Festival. We have been there the last two years and it has always been great fun. What can be better than good wine and chocolate?
We will have lots of tasting pieces and be sampling three different Chrysalis wines with three of our confections. Be there on Saturday & Sunday from 10AM to 6PM. Did I mention there will be live Jazz music as well? Here is all the info http://www.chrysaliswine.com/jazzfestival09.htm
Did you have any chance to think about what to get this important woman in your life yet? We have a few familiar ideas, that just might fit the bill (literally):
Our crystallized ginger is very juicy and full of flavor, without being too sharp.
Remember our Champagne Truffles earlier this year? Well, they have been requested again and why not - they do taste delicious and Mother’s Day is an occasion worthy something special.
Something completely new, which I haven’t done before is a separate line of caramel bonbons. We will feature Rhubarb, Apricot, and Morello Cherry, all coated in rich, dark Valrhona chocolate. No picture available, as I will be making them for the first time today to get started with the recipe testing & tasting
We also feature our Small Gift Baskets for Mother’s Day, as well as our Chocolate Tea Gift Towers, including the caramels as well.
Everything will be available in our online shop and ship the week of Mother’s Day, to arrive in time. Don’t be shy, if something is out of stock or you would like to request something special, just give us a call or write an email and we will assist you with your inquiry.
Last thing: Don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter, as our email customers get special pricing and/or discounts, which now-a-days can make a difference!
Please come and join us when we sample out chocolate confections at Cork & Fork in Gainesville this weekend.
This is what’s happening:

Hello Fans - we are going to be stars!
Well, maybe not stars, but we were visited by ‘Down Home Virginia’ a few weeks ago and they put our video segment on Youtube. We had a blast and in addition to our presence on Youtube, we will be aired throughout the state of Virginia on local TV stations. Enough talk, here the link:
