Wine Gift Set Includes:

• Heidsieck Monopole Blue Top Brut
  Pale yellow in color with brilliant reflections. On the nose, primarily yellow fruits and peach predominate at the initial tasting. However, there are also aromas of stewed fruits, with a hint of honey. Not to mention floral notes with white flowers offering a foretaste of the lightness of the wine. These are clearly generous and persistent aromas and promise a highly aromatic vintage.

• Glaceed Apricots Au Chocolat, 12pc.
  At the heart of this recipe is a very special, very select apricot. After tasting apricots from around the world, we carefully selected a grower in the fertile farmland of California, where the fruit plumps to the ideal taste and texture. Once picked, we use the time-honored European tradition of glaceeing the ripe fruit. As the fruit slightly dries, it's bathed in pure, natural sugar, just as it's been done for centuries. We then hand-dip them in our signature European chocolate. The slightly tart flavor is complimented best with our 60% dark chocolate—the perfect counterbalance to the fruit.

Bissinger's, takes its profound love of chocolate very seriously. The rich history of confection craftsmanship has endured for over 350 years, and the Bissinger family's singular passion and privilege to hand craft the finest chocolate in the world still remains. They still use the same timeless recipes, crafted in new and inventive ways for all who appreciate a truly luxurious chocolate experience. They believe in preserving the old world techniques necessary for exquisite quality, using copper kettles and preparing our recipes in small batches using fresh ingredients.

Due to the popularity of this gift, vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with an alternate vintage of equal or greater value. Pursuant to state laws in New York, gifts that contain both food and wine will be sent in two separate packages.
