School Daze
The bells are synced and the kids are ready…My desk is already cluttered with papers and pencils so I have to admit that school is now in session. Admittedly, I’m not quite ready for the year because my mind is still at Vino Locale.
For a moment, let’s look back on a lovely dinner that AB and I had at Vino Locale last weekend. Downtown Palo Alto hosted its annual art and wine festival and the atmosphere was busy, but cheerful. If I had my way, I’d probably go to Vino Locale at least twice a week just to sit in that lovely garden. We stayed for two hours and it felt like time passed by so leisurely. We were a bit surprised that we’d been sitting there for two hours in such tranquility!
So, to tempt you, here are some pics from our fabulous lunch:
We started with a wonderful caprese salad. AB tells me that bocconcinis are the medium-size mozzarella and the ones we had for lunch on this day are called “pearls.” They were creamy and soft with no hint of bitterness and they paired perfectly with the local tomatoes.
We like wine flights! Especially ones that come with a beautiful garden…
Pure heaven on bread…
AB ordered the crostini (with my strong recommendation) and it was really great again. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside and the toppings included parmesan-cream cheese, pesto, bruschetta and pistachio pate. This was one of our last dishes and we began to reach that soporific state of satiated bliss.
