I’ve reviewed Vosges several times on this blog now, so it’s no secret that I love the brand but wish that it were more affordable. Then again, I guess it would be less special if it weren’t a splurge. The Naga Bar, comprised of “sweet Indian curry powder, coconut flakes, and deep milk chocolate, 41% [...]

To my NYC readers, I’ll be in the city this Sunday afternoon and evening. One of my friends wants to visit the Met. I want to hit up Economy Candy and possibly visit Bergdorf Goodman for the Vosges tasting (and to check out the 5th Ave window displays; those of you who live in the [...]

Chow’s 2008 Holiday Gift Guide is up. Vosges made the list once again with a $111 exotic truffles and champagne set. And if that’s out of your price range, never fear. In their budget gift guide, Chow also recommends a $15 ballotin box from Payard that looks scrumptious. I bought myself the key bottle opener [...]

Via Chocolate Blog, Vosges, a wonderful if pricey chocolatier that I’ve reviewed several times in the past, has new bars and chocolates out. I’ve actually seen the organic bars at my local frommagierie (yes, New Haven has one now) but didn’t buy them because they were so pricey. But if you make more money than [...]

Chow’s Summer Gift Guide 2008 has been posted. While there are no actual candy items, Vosges (which I’ve reviewed quite a bit) has a product that made it on the list: their Red Velvet Mini Party Cake. It looks delicious and gorgeous, but really, $60 for a cake that only serves four? Not even including [...]

After the success of my first chocolate tasting (notes here), I held a second one with the extra bars. Unfortunately, by the time the second tasting rolled around, most of the bars had bloomed thanks to New Haven humidity and temperature fluctuations and a lack of air conditioning. The Vosges chocolate bars were the only [...]

As previously mentioned on Monday, my box of 9 of Vosges Exotic Truffles were samples sent by the company. I shared them with friends, which is the best way to savor fine chocolates. From left to right and top to bottom they are (the last two trio photos are slightly off, with the Ambrosia and [...]

Because today is Earth Day, I am reposting bits from an old post from Blog Action Day and listing some earth-friendly brands that I’ve the pleasure of trying: Endangered Species donates a portion of their chocolate bar proceeds to help, well, endangered species. I’ve only formally reviewed one of their bars, but I’ve tasted several [...]

When I was in Chicago over spring break, I stopped by a Vosges boutique because even though I can’t really afford their products on my college student budget, holy cow are their truffles gooooood. Plus I got permission from my residential college master to pick up another bacon bar for our next tasting. I also [...]

Greek chocolate gets a little blurb in the Times Dining section this week. I’ve had white chocolate with olive bits at Vosges before and didn’t much care for it, but the halvah praline and the baklava praline sounds divine. Mmm… Also, my apologies for my Happy Tax Day post somehow not making it. These last [...]
