????侍酒師

????傳統(tǒng)的侍酒師是幫助食客挑選合適的葡萄酒來(lái)佐餐,。而一名巧克力侍酒師則專為葡萄酒挑選合適的巧克力來(lái)滿足人們的味蕾。圖中這位女士名叫洛葛仙妮?勃朗寧,，她是美國(guó)酒吧協(xié)會(huì)（American Bar Association）的巧克力侍酒師,，在長(zhǎng)島和其他一些地方的酒莊服務(wù)。

????勃朗寧2010年在長(zhǎng)島創(chuàng)辦了異國(guó)巧克力品嘗公司（Exotic Chocolate Tasting）,，部分是因?yàn)樗Ｍ麕椭绹?guó)本土的可可農(nóng)場(chǎng),，阻止熱帶可可農(nóng)場(chǎng)對(duì)雨林的破壞。創(chuàng)辦公司之前,，她曾經(jīng)從事過(guò)廣告行業(yè),，還當(dāng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)島一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)的鎮(zhèn)長(zhǎng)。現(xiàn)在,，她同全球14家不同的巧克力公司打交道,。雖然現(xiàn)在她還是個(gè)體戶，但隨著業(yè)務(wù)擴(kuò)張,，她也開(kāi)始尋找另一個(gè)既懂葡萄酒也懂巧克力的人來(lái)和她一起工作,。勃朗寧說(shuō)：“這是我干過(guò)的最有意思的工作?！?/p>

????Sommelier

????Typically, a sommelier assists diners in choosing the right wine to pair with their dinner. A chocolate sommelier matches chocolates to wines and to people's tastes. Roxanne Browning (right) has served as a chocolate sommelier to the American Bar Association, at wineries on Long Island, and more.

????Browning founded Exotic Chocolate Tasting on Long Island in 2010 in part because she hopes to help indigenous cacao farmers and stop rainforest erosion. She started the company after a career in advertising and a stint as mayor of a small town on Long Island. She works with 14 different chocolate companies from around the world. Right now, she's a solo act, but as the business expands, she's starting to look for another person who knows wine and chocolate to work with her. "This is the most fun I've ever had," says Browning.
