Research

It’s a good idea to do your research on wine. I found this little gem, a Pico Maccario Lavignone Barbera d’Asti 2021, at my local wine shop for less than $20. It appears at number 36 on The Wine Spectator’s “Top 100 Wines of 2023”:

Here is how it is described:

…bright and aromatic wine with aromas and flavors of red cherries, violets and wild herbs. Soft tannins and a moderate level of alcohol and medium weight make Lavignone an ideal wine for immediate enjoyment.

A Little Bakery

In Little Washington, you will find une petite boulangerie at Patty O’s Cafe and Bakery. The old-world feel is the result of exquisite design, and the bread and les viennoiseries or all things puff pastry originating in Vienna, such as croissants and pains au chocolats, are from extensive research and development at The Inn at Little Washington.
