Chocolate, Dessert & Wine Lover's 'Tasting' Fundraiser

"Every now and then, an event comes along that simply needs no sales pitch." We used these words to describe 2011's Chocolate, Dessert & Wine Lover's 'Tasting' Evening to benefit The Shelter for the Homeless. After actually experiencing this sinfully sweet event, I must say forcefully...just go.  Why you may ask? The answer is simple. On Thursday, February 9th, 2012 over 70 vendors will be serving up an evening of glorious culinary indulgence in the form of decadent chocolates, confections, and mouthwatering baked good, all washed down with fine wines, beer and specialty beverages. Here's the real bonus…You can enjoy your nibbles from favorite shops like Sono Baking Company, Aux Delices, Suckerborne, and D'Mare Pastry Shop, knowing that 100% of every ticket sold supports the Shelter for the Homeless programs. 

Check out the complete list of vendors below and we'll see you there!
