After having a nice Easter dinner with friends, the lady of the house breaks out a bottle of chocolate wine imported from Holland for dessert. This was a new experience for me and most the other quests. The smell was tantalizing and the taste beyond words. After one glass I knew that was my limit, but the lady quests could not control themselves and indulged in more until the contents of the bottle was gone. I know if Celia had been there with her weakness for chocolate, she would have had a hard time limiting herself to one glass. With our first glass we toasted the memory of Celia, who had been a good friend with all that were present.
