Raleigh’s Peche de Chocolat has one of the best, fun gourmet experiences I’ve had in the Triangle. They offer a wine and chocolate tasting or pairing for just $10. And it’s not something that takes a lot of your time but you can stay as long as you like. It’s on the first Friday evening of each month. I went pretty early in the evening. I told them I didn’t mind having their wine and chocolate then ‘cause it was sooo good even though that’s normally dinner time for me when I stopped in for the tasting.  Here’s Alec and Laura from the store.

Do you like chocolate?…if so, what’s your favorite chocolate store? I used to love Godiva, and See’s. But now in Raleigh, it’s chocolate from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory if I need a chocolate fix. There are a few stores in the Triangle at the big malls.

I like chocolate in small quantities.  I’m not a chocaholic though.  I’ve heard of people who go to these spas and get lathered in chocolate.  That’s just kinda weird to me.  Well…maybe it wouldn’t be so strange if someone told me what the experience was really like.  But for now, I think it just sounds over-the-top ’cause I don’t like the smell of chocolate…just the taste…
