Chocolate is a new perk of travel writing.
The Tandem Tasters, Maralyn Hill and I, thoroughly enjoyed our autumn journeys along the wine trail in Southern Oregon with the International Food & Wine Travel Writer's Association. We tasted wine, cheese and, of course, delectable chocolate from some of Oregon's 20 plus chocolatiers.
Our enthusiasm for this part of the world, the people and the earth-friendly products led to many glowing articles about Oregon.
Our efforts have brought us back to the charming city of Ashland for the annual Oregon Chocolate Festival. This time as chocolate and pastry judges, as well as travel and food writers.
Some of the many perks of travel writing? Chocolate is good enough for us.

ReplyDeleteBrenda and Maralyn,what's not to love about this perk? I think the way you have parlayed your experience in writing, traveling and interviewing into a new phase of your colaboiration as judges is fantastic. Now would you two be interested in judging the haggis at the next Robert Burns dinner in Welches,Oregon?
