With Valentine’s Day just around the corner the community came out in force - more than 350 guests - to support the 8^th annual Chocolate, Dessert & Wine Lover’s Evening. An annual tradition where fine wine meets decadent desserts, guests indulged in a selection of incredible dessert and chocolate flavor combinations ranging from traditional to exotic from more than 60 food, dessert and fine wine purveyors. Music, door prizes and shopping for Valentine's Day gifts rounded out this not-to-be-missed evening with emcee Chef Plum, who appears regularly on the Food Network. Proceeds benefit Pacific House men's shelter.

We are especially thankful for our Sponsors: First County Bank, First Niagara Foundation, GE Asset Management, Olympus Partners, Webster Bank; our exclusive media partner Stamford Magazine by Moffly Media; and CT Bites, Hey Stamford, OmNomCT, and Star 99.9!
