A big thank you to all who attended the Seducing the Knight Launch Party last night at Sweet Decadence Chocolates in Newcastle, Washington. The venue could not have been more perfect, and the turnout was amazing! 
The chocolates and wines were a definite highlight. Sandra Wixon, owner of Sweet Decadence, did a superb job pairing the wines with the perfect chocolates. I’ll include the list here in case you’d like to find these Washington State wines on the market, or try your own pairings with similar wine/chocolate combinations.
Hoover & Roofus 2007 Riesling, paired with a white
chocolate and peanut butter truffle.
Andrake 2005 Cabernet Franc, paired with a Raspberry truffle.
Ginkgo Forest 2006 Syrah, paired with a Blackberry truffle.
Ginkgo Forest Late Harvest Gewurztraminer to finish off the experience!
Thank you to Sonie and Doc Hansen from Hansen & Hansen LLC for being on hand to ed
ucate all of us about these fabulous wines as well as how to get the most “experience” from a wine and chocolate pairing.
Barnes & Noble bookseller Mandi Holmstrom was there to help with the celebration. She did a fabulous job of taking care of purchasing needs and helped entertain the crowd with quiet conversation while they waited…and waited.

Thank you all for being so patient while standing in line. I’m hoping the wine and chocolate helped make the experience more pleasureable. It’s just so hard to sign books quickly when I also get a chance to share in everyone’s joys and sorrows, and successes and celebrations, meeting with new friends and old, and not to mention snuggling a few babies. You all have my undying gratitude for standing in that line.
It truly was a sweet night! Again, thank you all for attending and I hope you enjoy reading Seducing the Knight!
All the best,
Gerri
