Just wanted to mention that I appreciate your response with regard to claims made regarding superlatives on chocolate producers' websites. I was hoping someone would clarify. I realize, through my very thorough insurance agent, that claims made on a websites have litigious potential. I try to be very careful of any statements I make about my business or those of others.

I did quote you in a forum discussion today. I do find your comments to be constructive and educational.

I appreciate what you are doing with chocolate and hope that we continue to see tremendous growth in high quality chocolate production in the US.

Alan- Good seeing you too at the F.F. Show yesterday. You looked like you were on a mission or I would have stopped to talk a bit. There was so much to see. I had a good experience and learned quite a bit in the time I spent there. One day was enough for me though.

Of course! We've communicated before outside of TCL. I have your two bars in my collection and look forward to new additions/editions. Hope some day you will do a tasting in Los Angeles, a la Fog City. Mel & Rose Wines have a broad collection of bars.

Thanks for adding me to friends. Why would that Patric be "cheating?" Are you of a mind that "true" dark has to have a higher cocoa %?

Hi Alan: Hope things have been good for you since your trip to NY. Looking forward to hearing more about your company and your views on chocolate. From my non biased point of view, I'll second the notion that your 70% Madagascar is excellent. Keep up the great work!

Alan:

Welcome to The Chocolate Life. Thanks for the presentation to my Meetup group a couple of weeks ago - everyone I have spoken with enjoyed meeting you, hearing what you had to say, and tasting the differences between the 70% and 67%. I wish you great success and I look forward to your contributions here.
