Chocolates, treats, and the sweet things in life

Sweets

Besides being enjoyed on their own, much of what I create is meant to be paired with wines – both white and red, and even bourbon and amaro.  I work to include different techniques, flavors and ingredients that have influenced me over the years while traveling to such amazing countries as Spain, France, and Italy, while giving homage to products closer to home from the Yakima Valley in Washington State.

Admittedly, my chocolates are meant to be enjoyed by adults. The liquors and liqueurs in my candies are there as flavor components and enhancers. Very rarely will you ever experience the burning sensation of alcohol in the candies.
