Fall 2010

Happy fall to my chocolate friends!

This has been one long, hot, did I say long summer? I promise you that your purchase of Cocoa Nouveau chocolates did not send me on a four month trip around the world (sadly)! Between the summer weather, my husband's deployment and having three boys to entertain here at the house, chocolate has been about the last thing on my mind.

There have been a few new developments though. I have finally gotten around to starting a CocoaNouveau facebook page, because I was told that I must. I am sure that there is a better, or atleast more entertaining way to do it, but I am no longer under 25 so it is lost on me. The most important development though is that Terebinth (a brand new pastry shop in Chesapeake) will be carrying my chocolates weekly. I don't have the contact information as yet, but I will get that to you as soon as I have it. I will be delivering a small run of chocolates every Wednesday; probably only 4 or 5 flavors which will rotate or be replaced as necessary. You will be able to choose from the flavors available and make your own boxes, the same type of set up as Let's Talk Wine. This will be an experiment for me, but the co-owner Kisha Frazier is determined to have my chocolates be a part of her business, for which I am unspeakably grateful.

Having chocolates at Terebinth will not keep me from tastings at Let's Talk Wine, although my husband's deployments and previously mentioned three boys will. I will still be at the tastings, but for a shorter amount of time, from noon until 4 p.m. The next tasting at Let's Talk Wine is coming up in October.

When I have more dates or events, I will post on the CocoaNouveau facebook page, so please check back there, or do whatever it is you do to get updates there! I look forward to seeing everyone soon. Kristin
