Wine and chocolate may seem like simple pleasures, but for people like master sommelier Chris Gaither and Dandelion Chocolates co-founder Todd Masonis, they’re so much more. Chris sees wine as a way to bring people together to share stories and get in touch with the land and culture. Todd’s approach to chocolate focuses on traditional origins and fostering relationships with small farms. In Brian's conversations with both, we dive into how these everyday indulgences can connect us to people, places, history, and even ourselves.
Chris Gaither is a Master Sommelier with over 20 years of experience in hospitality.
Todd Masonis is the CEO and co-founder of Dandelion Chocolate, a San Francisco-based company specializing in making chocolate from scratch.
