IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to weather predictions, 2/10 MochaVino Marketing Mixer is CHANGED to the following night, Thursday, 2/11. Same time and place.

Thursday, February 11, 2010
5:30 - 7:30 pm
The Wine Press, 118 Quinnipiac Avenue, North Haven, CT 06473

Come in out of the cold to experience SMPS CT's first-of-a-kind signature event to acknowledge local, dedicated SMPS CT members and introduce future members to SMPS CT with tastings of locally produced chocolate, coffee and wine. This will be a heart-healthy and tasteful networking event and our way of giving back to our local members and others in need of warm hearts.

We get to thank our members, and YOU get to help the local community, as a percentage of MochaVino’s event proceeds will be given to Connecticut Food Bank, New Haven, CT.

Start the evening off with a selection of the finest imported and domestic cheeses with crackers and flat breads, eggplant bruschetta with toasted bread, garlic hummus with seasoned pita chips, and crisp crudite with dip. Coffee, espresso, and non-alcoholic beverages will also be served. A wine specialist will conduct group tastings in an old-world family dining setting to help you pair wines with Munson's chocolates. Special gifts for your Valentine (or to thank your clients) will be available for purchase including: custom jewelry by local designer Naomi Jewelry, award-winning (and locally roasted) Serious Coffee® by Willoughby’s Coffee & Tea and of course, Connecticut's own Munson’s Chocolates. Raffles will be held by our sponsors to win jewelry, chocolate, and more!
 
SMPS members know that a healthy network is a powerful marketing tool. Stay in touch with your SMPS friends and build new relationships with face-to face meetings - the original social media - and generate warm hearts this winter. Life is better when you share what you’ve been given with others.
