My husband found this fabulous gem while searching for new and fun things to do while we were in the area. What a jackpot! So many beautiful works of art to peruse while enjoying a phenomenal wine list. You'll definitely want to try the bread and cheese plate. They stock some incredible cheeses that are also available to purchase. We will be returning soon.
