Aaron at the Aquarium; Debuts and Discoveries

Here’s Aaron giving his winning smile to visitors at the Intrigue booth during the Debuts and Discoveries event. Flanked on his right by Sheila (of Sheila and Jeff, co-owners of Davenport Cellars), and on his left by Walter, a friend of Intrigue’s who was helping out for the day. Thanks to Nityia Przewlocki (www.nityiadesign.com) for sharing this great picture with us! As previously blogged, this event benefits the Seattle Aquarium and marine conservation efforts, and we had a nice time hanging out with all the aquatic wildlife (not to mention our human visitors, they were nice, too).

We want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have made it out to our summer events and visited our table. Being a small company gives us the chance to spend time with all of you, talking chocolate with our friends is really one of our greatest pleasures! There is still more summertime fun ahead, and we encourage you to keep track of where we will be via our website events page, facebook events page or our newsletter (if you’re not receiving our monthly newsletter and would like to, click here to get set up!) During the warm months you would be wise to bring along a cooler (also good for transporting any wine you might purchase, we do a lot of chocolate-wine pairing events).

Premium chocolate like Intrigue’s truffles do not have much tolerance for heat, but you can be sure of an incredible chocolate experience. And we will ensure that by only shipping chocolate orders in a speedy fashion, and with generous insulation and ice packs. If our chocolate can’t be shipped in its best condition, then we just won’t ship it. This means that delivery costs can be significant, but we feel that it’s worth it. An alternative for Seattle locals is to arrange for picking up your order directly from us.

Stay cool, and keep your chocolate cool!
