If you can make these gingersnap cookies without devouring the batch, you can make a wonderful pumpkin cheesecake made with gingersnap crumbs. It's the perfect marriage between a cheesecake and pumpkin pie.

This little slice of chocolate heaven is a dessert that is not only a crowd pleaser but is relatively easy to make. Beware, once your grateful family and friends taste this, you will have officially raised the bar.

Fresh berries are macerated in Vin Santo, then layered with creamy zabaglione, crunchy crackers and crumbled meringue. Friends declare this dessert "over the top" delicious! Vin Santo is made by drying the grapes so the flavor is concentrated, then aging the wine for three years where a large percentage of volume is lost due to evaporation--leaving a intensely flavored wine.

Pinot Noir deepens the flavor of these lovely chocolate cakes, created by the Pastry Chef at the elegant JORY Restaurant.
