The NOKA - RIEDEL Experience(TM): Cabernet crystal glassware and vintages collection

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - February 11, 2008) - NOKA Chocolate's new NOKA - RIEDEL Experience combines single-estate, solid dark chocolate Vintages Collection™ or handmade Grand Cru Truffles™ in the new Limited Edition Passion Red Box with two Vinum Extreme varietal-specific crystal glasses by Riedel The Wine Glass Company.
