J&M Wine and Chocolate Night
When it comes to chocolate, it’s pretty safe to say that I have a problem. If I had been one of the lucky five golden ticket holders at Willy Wonka’s place, I probably would have been a cross somewhere between Veruca Salt and Augustus Gloop. First, I would’ve been all I want it all Daddy, and I want it now about the situation. And then… I would’ve fallen into the chocolate river. Yea, that sounds about right. But I will tell you, one thing is safe to say. I definitely wouldn’t have been the Mike Teavee. Nope, not for all the chocolate in the world. That kid was just annoying.
And since I love to share my over-indulgences with others (because hey if everybody’s doing it, it must be ok! Clearly. :) ,we decided a few weeks back to put on an entire night devoted to la Chocolat (“You mean the movie Chocolate starring Johnny Depp?” :). We worked with the absolutely amazing coordinator Sarah True of True Event who continues to just blow us away. And we invited all of our current 2012 clients as well as some of our local past clients to join us for a night of Wine & Chocolate. As soon as Sarah got involved she assembled just an incredible team, all who went so far above & beyond for us. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for each and everyone of them. And by the time they were done….
they had put together a night even Veruca Salt wouldn’t have believed she deserved! :)
With huge thanks and so much gratitude to all of the following creatives for making this night possible. As well as all of our clients everywhere, past and present.
You guys are even better than chocolate.
