zoka = bad, dolfin + banyuls = good

it's true my friends, sad but true -- mr. right abhors the prize-winning espresso paladino from zoka. it has been strictly banished from my house. he thinks it tastes like pinon ashes soaked in stale water. . .

on more upbeat news, i bought myself a dolfin 70% dark chocolate bar as a consolation. perhaps best known for their innovatively flavored bars and distinctive tobacco-pouch resealable wrapper, dolfin is fine eating chocolate. and since i do tend to prefer the elegantly simple thing-in-itself, i enjoy the plain dark chocolate the best. what can i say? i think ice cream should come only in vanilla!

i'm also pleased as punch to have in my possession the wine universally acknowledged to pair best with chocolate, the dessert wine from roussillon, banyuls. i'm looking at a bottle of 2000 les clos de paulilles rimage, a hand-made wine proudly crafted by the daure family.

so farewell zoka, hello languedoc!
