Eat That Frog First
Red Wine Headache - Take An Aspirin And Call Me In The Morning
Bucket List or Afternoon Delight?
I love, love, love your wines. Hubby and I come out to PA a couple of times a year and we make a stop all the time to restock....and I always seem to find something unique in the little 'gift' shop too! :-)
Greetings, I LOVE your website, philosophy and energy!
Read More....., 
love Love LOVE Red Wine... When you think about this annual event, Red Wine & Chocolate, we use the word "love" in every sentence as we describe it... love red wine, love decadent chocolate, love going to different wineries, love the people you're with, love the Peninsula in February!
This year we’ll take you to a French Cafe... a vibrant gathering place in our cellar. Of course there will be great wine and chocolates but it just wouldn't be the same without warm chocolate croissants and aromatic coffee.
As you enter the cellar visualize a street in Paris. Next to the Café de Paris you will find a shop for hats "Un Chapelier", a few doors down a photographic studio "Le Petit Studio". In front of the Café a street artist is sketching the couple who only have eyes for each other.
The Café is bustling... warm with the smell of chocolate and coffee... wine is being tasted and admired. Glasses are clinking.
Hat Shop. Browse through our large selection of fun and fabulous hats in the "Un chapelier".
On this Paris street you find an artist sketching on a “sidewalk” in front of a bustling café.
French Photograph Phil Tauran will take individual or group pictures in his replica of the Paris Studio Harcourt. Only b/w photos with the emphasis on lighting in the style created by Cosette Harcourt.
Founded in 1934 by Cosette Harcourt, in association with Robert Ricci and the Lacroix brothers, Studio Harcourt Paris has immortalized the greatest figures of the 20th and 21st centuries. Its world-famous signature draws its inspiration from the glamorous roots of black and white cinema. Thanks to its unique lighting, Studio Harcourt Paris brings out the natural glow of each model. The Harcourt touch is defying time, with inimitable style: the perfect combination between mystery and legend. http://www.studio-harcourt.eu/en/studio/mythe/ http://www.studio-harcourt.eu/en/
New to Sequim from France, Tauran studied graphic design in Bordeaux, working as such for 2 decades, before deciding to move to Sequim to follow his passion, fine art photography. Exhibited throughout Provence, Tauran’s inspirations include American photographers Dennis Hopper, Walker Evans and Ansel Adams, as well as the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula.

Chocolatier Yvonne Yokota has long been interested in the subject of chocolate. She would like it to become general knowledge that chocolate is like fine wine … cocoa from different regions can have as distinct a flavor as wines created from grapes coming from one area. In fact, some of the same terms to describe wines, such as fruity, acidic, and smoky are used to describe chocolates from different origins. yvonneschocolates@gmail.com, Or phone – 360-683-6480
