Precisely what we're looking for! Last trip out, we missed V. Sattui, and we're making it a point to go back to enjoy a picnic there. We love grabbing sandwiches at the Oakville Grocery or another place and just sneaking a quick lunch before continuing on our merry tasting way.
I've also heard that Julia's at Copia has really turned the corner in the last year under the new chef.
