Miette the Most Delicious Chocolate: Gianduiotto


I stopped in my favorite confiserie, Miette, in the charming Hayes Valley in San Francisco. I bought a piece of my favorite and the most delicious chocolate, Gianduiotto.

The Italian chocolate has been around since 1865. When cocoa was rationed, hazelnuts became an additive to help make the chocolate. The hazelnut paste combined with the chocolate results in a rich, sweet flavor with extra depth and a smooth, creamy texture that you will never forget.

18 years in the Making... Maccallum


The Macallan Whisky tasting party at Fort Mason Officer's Club was a success. Tracy and I enjoyed a delicious range of scotches from Macallan. The 15 year and 18 year reserves were my favorite. It was sad to think about some of the men who had labored hard 18 years ago to make this whisky, never lived to taste it.
