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!
