Lindt 90% Supreme Dark Review
May 9, 2016
I’m sure there are many who might look at a chocolate bar label with 90% cacao and cringe. That’s almost like eating unsweetened baking chocolate! One would have to be out of their mind to eat such a thing, right?
On the other hand, if you’re into super dark chocolate like me, you look at that label and smile. 90% has some serious chocolate impact to inflict!

Recently, I was given a Divine Dark Chocolate with Ginger and Orange bar as a thank-you gift. I enjoy this brand of chocolate, but never tasted this particular variety before.
The chocolate is 70% Ghanaian and, true to every Divine bar I’ve ever had, it is superb.

I recently made chocolate vodka, infusing it with cacao nibs (unsweetened, cracked and roasted pieces from the cocoa bean).

Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate
April 11, 2016
The Chocolove brand Raspberries in Dark Chocolate is a 55% cocoa Belgian chocolate bar with freeze-dried raspberry pieces.
The texture is smooth, and melts in your mouth evenly. The crispy pieces of tart raspberries add a great burst of flavor that blends very well with the chocolate. And, the chocolate has enough sweetness to keep the tartness of the raspberry in check.

During a recent trip to a local winery, a couple of friends and I participated in a wine tasting.
I was deciding which wines to try when one in particular caught my attention; Lemon Wine. Intrigued, I asked for a tasting sample.

They are most often sold in stores in the U.S. as dried fruit and are not easy to find fresh.
