Wine Cellar Sorbets by Ami Kealoha
Wine Cellar Sorbets are a novel option for dessert or a creative addition to a meal. Made by two childhood friends in Brooklyn, sorbets currently come in seven different vintages starring some familiar wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Zinfandel. CH favorites include the Champagne, a subtle, less sweet choice with hints of lemon and fruit, and the Pinot Noir, which is dry with a distinctive wine taste that leaves the impression of blackberries. Presently available only in New York and New Jersey, look out for it at places like Whole Foods, Dean & Deluca, and Garden of Eden, as well as at NYC's weekly outdoor Real Food Markets.

Mast Brothers Chocolate
Walking by Williamburg's crafty flea market Artists & Fleas last weekend, I spied stacks of chocolate bars wrapped in patterned papers. Stepping inside, I met Rick and Michael Mast, the brother duo who recently started Mast Brothers Chocolate, their line of artisinal chocolates. As former room mates, the pair spent many an hour dreaming up flavor combinations until they finally scraped up enough cash...

Trois Crepes Dark Chocolate Perles
Pearl-shaped and tiny, the Manhattan patisserie Trois Crepes' Dark Chocolate Pearls contain something like a buttery Rice Krispy in a coverture of bittersweet chocolate. A pleasing crunch and slight saltiness makes for a surprising experience, but the chocolate balances both the flavor and texture. The Perles are delicious sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt, but we also like pouring them directly into our mouth....

Eight Salty, Sweet, Mouth-Puckering Licorices
by Karen McGrane Licorice seemed wrong and bad to me as a child, one of those things like coffee ice cream or kissing in movies that made me deeply suspicious of adult desires. As my tastes have matured so has my preference for licorice and I seek out only the darkest, chewiest, and most complex flavors. Used as a sweetener and a medicinal since ancient...
