I've been visiting Flocchini Family Provisions off and on for the past 10 years, and I recently…read morelearned from this lovely lady that works there (wish I had taken her name down) they occasionally sell the extra sausages made from special orders. You will find these in their frozen area. This is too good of a find to keep to myself! That's how I scored their Elk & Pork Bratwurst with Cheddar and Jalapeños and Wagyu Cross Beef Hot Dogs. My usual favorite is the Old Fashioned Beef Hot Dogs, they have that satisfying snap and flavor you just don't get anywhere else. Flocchini is a third-generation family business that handcrafts small-batch sausages using whole muscle meats and simple, high-quality ingredients. The store is tucked behind the Cal-Ranch area, but absolutely worth the stop. Friendly staff, fair prices, and unbeatable flavor.

Ordering a Flocchini sausage on a bun at a Reno Aces game is a highlight when Gayle and I take in a…read morebaseball game. I go for the cheesy Brad, while Gayle opts for a spicier choice. With everything on it, it's so delicious and messy that we eat it at a counter (overlooking the game) before going back to our seats. Note to Professional Sports Catering (@Greater Nevada Field) - You need to supply a bun that can stand up to a Flocchini sausage. I've never seen bread disintegrate so fast after the first bite.

I was in the South Lake Tahoe area and walking around with my husband and our friend on a Saturday morning. When our friend looked up different places in the area to see what might be worth checking out, he mentioned that there was a smoked meats place. Immediately I was down to check it out. As we walked in, we were greeted by the employee behind the counter and a variety of jerky options in the case and along the walls. I tried a handful of samples before it dawned on me that the flavors and products seemed so familiar. I was completely oblivious that there were photos and references to their original location in Bishop (which I visited previously and really liked). I got a 1/4 lb of the sweet and spicy brisket to snack on and it made an excellent driving snack.

I've really only ate beef jerky but my favorite ended up being an elk jerky I can't remember the name though! I definitely would come back again when in the area!

We stopped in for a cocktail and ran into a full-blown breakfast service today. We did not know…read morethey were serving brunch, but clearly it's caught on and we're late to the party. It was rainy, and so everybody was indoors, and it was kind of crowded, but that's a testament to the quality of the food. Our bartender, Maddy, was energetic and friendly, and it didn't hurt that she grew up six doors down on our street. My wife, ever the hugger, was thrilled to see her, and you could tell they had a mutual fondness for each other. So if you're into day drinking, and it's a Sunday, this is a great stop. Quality, alcohol, friendly faces, what look like good food, and a clean and pleasant environment made this the place to stop. Rest assured, we will be back

We had a confirmed reservation for eight at 1:00 pm on a Friday following a wedding ceremony. What should have been a joyful post-wedding lunch became frustrating due to the general manager's attitude. Although the reservation was made, we were told they could not ensure the table that would comfortably fit eight adults -- several over 6 feet tall. We were also informed they would not guarantee any table even a few minutes early so we could place simple floral arrangement on it before bride arrived. Our party was fully prepared to order off the regular menu and pay whatever it took for what would likely have been a one-hour lunch. During the conversation, the manager repeatedly emphasized that they are "always busy," which felt dismissive rather than helpful. The overall tone came across as VERY condescending, especially given the occasion. For a restaurant known for hospitality, this was disappointing. The lunch was booked at another restaurant. Sadly, none of us will be back to The Pink House while the current manager is employed there.

I've been eyeing Mayer Family Wines for a while as a possible drink spot with friends. I've stopped…read morein several times to browse their selection but this was my first visit having a beverage. Our party of 4 all enjoyed some wine and snacks. Three of us ordered flights and one of us ordered a glass of wine. The total bill before tip was about $95. For my flight, I asked the server to surprise me with three of her favorites. I had two reds and a white. They were all enjoyable. I think the best option for enjoying wine here is to buy a bottle and share with friends. The flights were fun to try new things, but not the best value. Overall, I enjoyed the vibe of Mayer and the well decorated space. The wine selection is also great for enjoying there or to-go. The small provisions area they have is also a nice touch. I will return!

Service was provided by Brian, one of the owners. Brian provided me professional and timely service. He knew his menu well and was confident in wine suggestions. Today I was in the mood for bubbles. Based on Brian's suggestion, for my 1st glass I had the Markus Huber Rose. It was a beautiful glass of sparkling wine. It was light, fresh, and delicate, with fruit and spice with hints of fresh cherries and berries, and a small taste of citrus. For my 2nd glass, I went a bit more traditional with the Faire La Féte Brut. This glass was very bright, crisp, and lively with notes of lemon and orange. I ended up having the cheese board (I ordered the cheese & charcuterie board but the cheese board came out) and it didn't disappoint. Each cheese was complex and special in their own way, yet the cheeses complemented each other. The cheeses paired beautifully with the Markus Huber Rose. The quince paste was amazing! One suggestion I would have would be to have board labels or a platter layout card for guests to reference to while they are grazing. Overall, this was a wonderful experience with delicious cheeses and beautiful wines in a relaxing environment. I definitely will be returning for another visit soon.
