Dessert with Chocolate Sommelier Sophia Rea
We are excited to also announce our dessert course will be presented by the United States’ only chocolate sommelier, Sophia Rea of Projet Chocolat. A former chef to entertainers and celebrities, Sophia will join us to celebrate the pleasure of tasting chocolate, rather than merely eating it.
