Your Host
Meet Carrie Griffin
After ten years managing The Wine Experience — a beloved wine-tasting and blending lab on Cannery Row — Carrie discovered a chocolate-making class on a trip to Belgium that paired handcrafted chocolates with local beers.
A new passion was born. Combining the art of chocolate-making with the wines and beers she'd spent a decade curating, Chocolates & Cheers came to life. Exit retirement — enter something delicious.
"It ended up being a great night. Our host kept our glasses full and the atmosphere light. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of chocolate I made — and ended up taste testing half of it on the way home. Overall, a great experience."
