Nothing says Valentine's Day like sweets! I'd love to see you enjoying CHOCOLATE & WINE FOR VALENTINES this Saturday at The Granary in Morgan Hill. I'll be your host from 2 until 5. This is a really nice affair with a bunch of local chocolatiers and wineries and restaurants giving out lots of tempting tastes for you. There's a silent auction bursting with goodies too! It supports my good friends at the Teachers Aid Coalition! CLICK for details on the fun>http://www.tacmh.org/
