Guittard Vintage Chocolate Company, located in the Bay Area like Ghirardelli, but I like Guittard much better than Ghirardelli. They seem to market primarily to gourmet chefs, and recently are in Whole Foods. I love the Coucher du Soleil 72% extra bittersweet wafers. Their 92% is an amazing flavor sensation, different chocolate varieties blended so the tastes flutter in my mouth, where all other brands I've tasted have a single intense chocolate flavor. Phone: 1-650-697-4427 Chocosphere.com is a great site for ordering chocolates from around the world, including Guittard |

Specify the region and severity you want to know about, for example "Northern CA, magnitude 5.5 or stronger". They also have special software for facilities that have critical things to shut down or change to safety mode, such as hospitals, power plants, manufacturing, elevators.
