   It's unlikely, however, that even Mr. Wonka could have reached the same mouth-watering heights achieved by the dream-sweet chocolates of Veronica Bowers, Condra Easley, and Guy Daniels, three of Sonoma County's most celebrated chocolatiers.
   ...
   The brainstorm of Paul Schwartz and Jim Lawer--a pair of Sonoma County chocolate connoisseurs--Reel Chocolate is envisioned as a grand, gustatory celebration of fine chocolate and chocolate-themed movies, featuring a screening of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory preceded by an appetite-whetting reception at which Bowers, Easley, and Daniels will all be offering samples of their tastiest inventions.
   ...
   Guy Daniels, the founder of Gandolf's Chocolates in Graton, has narrowed his choices down to two strong possibilities: a nipple of Venus--a hand-shaped ganache covered in rich, dark couverture chocolate--or a dark chocolate truffle with minced pieces of cranberry. "It's like an upscale Raisinette," he laughs, "only bigger and better. A tangy feeling of dried fruit in the chocolate complements the flavor. They're delicious."
   
   Daniels is a self-taught chocolatier. "I am to chocolate what Hunter S. Thompson is to journalism," he says. A former IBM and Charles Schwab executive who left the rat race to make candy, Daniels quickly became a celebrated blender of unusual flavors. His appearance at Reel Chocolate is part of his devotion to telling the world that fine chocolate is within everyone's reach.
   
   "Even a person of very modest means can afford to buy the best chocolate there is," he says, "if they can find it. But first they have to learn to appreciate it."
