While traditionally Limoncello is an Italian Liquor native to the Southern Regions of Italy delicious all on its own, we couldn’t help but think that the syrupy, citrus elixir would make an excellent match with dark chocolate.
Since there is no Organic Limoncello readily available (if at all) we discovered that a variation on Limoncello could […]
My love affair with Baco Noir began back in the 90’s. I was waiting on tables in various casual and formal dining spots in downtown Toronto and the west end. The Gipsy Kings emanated out of every speaker within ear shot and Abba seemed poised to make an unfortunate come back.
