Ifyou haven’t stopped by in a while, check out the Chocolina Sheep’s Milk and PinkPeppercorn chocolate. On the brooding and buttery, coffee-rich side, thereis the new 70% Rio Carribe bar by Rogue. Not to mention, some great new wines, suchas the Hacienda Don Ramon 2006 from Rioja, plus enduring favoriteslike the Cuvee des Ardoises 2004 from Fitou. As always, plenty of salt. Trymaking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies sprinkled with Bali Rama, a large hollowpyramidal crystal salt from Bali: as beautiful as they are delicious.An easy recipe and tasty photographs thereof at www.saltnews.com.
