The Summit Wine & Food Festival was a sell-out event this year, featuring top chefs, numerous wine and spirits, and Diane’s extraordinary chocolates.  This year, Diane offered guests a delicious sampling of favorites such as her Pistachio Brittle with Sea Salt, and some new seasonal items such as Pumpkin with Caramel, Hazelnut Honey Praline with bee pollen and Tiramisu.

We are happy to report that Dale was one of several veterans featured in Time Magazine cover article, The New Greatest Generation, and we invite you to visit the following links to learn more about how you can help our military personnel and their families:
