Love at First Bite! Sea Salt Dark Chocolate
a
24/Savvy Dining: Atlanta, GA On Saturday afternoon, during a quiet stroll through one of my very favorite stores (World Market) I was invited to their wine tasting event in that fabulous wine section of their store—over in the back, to the right, and nestled between the Ernest Hemmingway'esque dark wood dining room sets and the vast...
