I Heart Chocolate Cake & You

For the chocolate lover in your life, we have a heart-shaped chocolate cake. Our dark chocolate cake is frosted with dark chocolate ganache and decorated for Valentine’s Day with buttercream accents.

The Co-op’s wine manager has selected some special bottles of bubbly to cheer your Valentine. If sparkling wine isn’t for you, we are featuring the Floating Rock Zinfandel from Washington and locally crafted Honey Moon’s Raspberry Mead. Honey Moon’s Raspberry Mead is a blend of mead from blackberry honey and raspberry wine both produced in Whatcom County. It has distinct berry aromas and a tart finish and is especially good paired with cheeses and desserts.

Valdo Prosecco Brut Rosé

The Valdo rosé is a perfect combination of barely off-dry and creamy in the mouth with enticing suggestions of Pink Lady apple, rose hip, salmonberry, Rainier cherry, and kiwi.
