Tasted our first Mast Brothers Chocolate last night… incroyable. My notes:
Sweet battles savory. Dark and gamey, nutty and bitter. It chips like slate and lets off the most satisfying crack between your teeth—think the exact opposite of a Hersey’s bar. I hate Halloween, and I hate Halloween candy, but, if this was handed out, I would gladly wear a costume and work the neighborhood. This includes the hand-made dirty tampon costume that a girl wore to my high school, resulting in her suspension.
Paired deliciously with a mineral-rich, bruiser of a Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon, which in the this case was a 2006 Goose Ridge Cab Sauv from the Columbia Valley ($22). The best part is this chocolate doesn’t need to be followed by a bombastically sweet, overly extracted red wine. The sea salt was masterful.
Our friend Kristin Campbell is to thank for this delicious discovery; purveyor of all things cool in Brooklyn that she is. Thanks, KC!

this chocolate sounds amazing! Where did you find it?
The chocolate shot with the nuts looks sinfully tasty!
Why are tasty things always forbidden?
By the way the lace waiscoat from your last post is driving me crazy. I have been to every single H&M in Madrid and it’s been out of stock for 2 weeks. My inner question is have they ever been in stock???

Mmm, this chocolate bar sounds amazing! I am pregnant right now and unable to indulge in my favorite wines, but I can’t wait to try this chocolate! I also love the design of the wrapper…the red and blue anchor motif is adorable!
I started a new monthly wine series on my blog which will feature new affordable wines…here is a link if you are interested!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look! C and C rocks!
Carey? Are you out there? Okay I just finished eating and raving about the Chocolove version of this which, while it may pale in comparison – not sure since haven’t tried MAST but it looks like a sassier version, clearly displays that we are living parallel lives.
This is so Whisper 2000.
