The Lounge and Chocolate Tasting

We are thoroughly enjoying our increased family time here in MI. This past weekend, we decided to have a small chocolate tasting party - white, milk and dark, three or four of each kind - to determine the best of the best in each category.
The boys have turned their Lego/Computer/Art room into a exclusive club and offered to host the party in their special space. Since it is member only, there is not much that can be divulged about this space, but I can say that the view is of the Pacific Coast, and the lighting is indirect. Only an invitation provides access and full enjoyment of the ambiance.

The chocolate tasting was paired with a sparkling wine and sparkling cider to tickle the taste buds. The winners - Lindt chocolate took home the most prizes, and the blind tasting proved that price is not always a good determinant of the best taste. Mamma no longer need to head to Whole Foods for white baking chocolate.
