Beautiful place! Look at my photo's of the lighting and (oh, dated Easter egg)! The display case has the look to show fine jewelry! Yesterday I tasted the "The Dude" inspired by the movie: the Big Lewbowski! So far in three visits I have enjoyed: Marshmallows, Fruit Jellie Candies and the Chocolates. All made in house and all very good!
What I think most people are shopping for here are the Chocolates, Wines and an expert pairing of the two! Here are the Chocolates I have had so far:
Got Milk: Vanilla Bean and milk chocolate ganache
Basil Orange: white chocolate inside, basil and orange dark chocolate outside
Blood Orange: milk and dark chocolate with blood orange
Strawberry Balsamic: milk and dark Chocolate, pureed strawberries and Balsamic Vinegar
Pure Peru: 65% Peruvian
Sweet Heat: Habanero, mango, passion fruit white chocolate inside, dark chocolate outside!
Make your Mark: Maker's Mark Bourbon, dark chocolate
The Dude: Robed in Milk Chocolate (three Bowling pens on top and a Bowling ball). Inside: Kahlua and White Chocolate Ganache (Confectionary take on the "White Russian").
"Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in" and I'll leave it at that. "The BIG Lewbowski" contains enough symbolic richness that needs no reference describing Chocolates! Fantastic Chocolates and Great Symbolism, Metaphorically speaking...
Best Chocolate in Charlotte!
Carefully eating this Chocolate.. .. ..Wait there is a "finish" like in a fine wine!!! Enjoy slowly!
