I’m all for trying new and weird things. ChocoVine definitely falls into that category. A gift from the always too-generous Colette, ChocoVine is French cabernet blended with dark chocolate from Holland.

As someone who saves her intake of KFC for special occasions, I was both horrified and intrigued by the Colonel’s Double Down.

It’s from the same place I picked up the Yorkie “It’s not for girls!” chocolate bar. The [...]
The Saint John City Market is a wonderful place to stroll on a leisurely weekend. I’d probably be there a lot if I lived in the city.
