This last Friday was our Valentine's Day wine pairing and poetry event, Champagne, Chocolate and LOVE. We think the discovery aspect of our wine pairings combined with the unexpectedness of live readings of prose and poetry can be unparallelled. Such was our experience Friday evening!
Naturally, our locally made gourmet chocolate was an exciting hit that went perfectly with our Champagne choices, but it was the poetry that thrilled and touched us all. Aldonia Bailey, Altadena artist and poet, brought poets Heather Hilliard-Bonds and Brian Miles, and magic ensued. From audience participation in Brian's poems to Aldonia's heartfelt musings and Heather's song-infused offerings, it was truly an enjoyable night! Listen to this little video clip I recorded of Heather reading and singing - who knew that Whitney Houston would pass away the very next day. Thus poetry and song celebrates, albeit unintentionally, the life of one of the greatest songstresses of our time.
Have a great week ahead, my friends - it's Valentine's Day on Tuesday! Drop by the store and see how we can help you find something for your sweetheart!
