So there we were, finished our dinner, just checked into the motel, checked out the patio, decided…read morewe needed to have some wine and enjoy that patio. The problem is, it's a Sunday night and the streets look like they're rolling up quickly. it's 7:58 PM, what are we to do? We get in the car and head down to sunshine foods. It's now 8:04 PM and the place is looking empty. We bump into one of the employees on the outside of the store and he tells me they'll open up for us. In a world where it would've been really easy just to say we're closed, he chose a more uncommon route. They let us in. We bought water and wine as they patiently waited for us to review their massive inventory of Wine. The moral of the story is, kindness counts, and karma is a good thing. They were good to us, and we truly appreciated it. We also appreciated the pint of Ben & Jerry's, the water we bought, and the bottle of Frog's Leep Zinfandel.

I was excited to see that they had a Full Service Deli Counter with a wide array of meats, cheeses, and breads to build a custom sandwich. They also had Specialty Sandwich Menu with ~20 different options. I ended up ordering the Old Fashioned Meatloaf Sandwich ($13.99), which was delicious and filling... well worth the price considering the size/quality. While I was waiting for my sandwich to be made, to perused the rest of the store. I was so tempted to grab more items, but knew the perishables wouldn't last on my car ride home. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are planning a picnic in the area!

Located on main street in Saint Helena, you'll likely get lucky finding street parking here. Theres also a small parking lot in the rear. Whatever the case, its very worth the trouble, if any to find parking to experience this place. Inside looks like a boutique, with chocolates hidden behind glass where the well dressed employee gathers your selections for special packaging. Fairly priced, especially for what you get. We tried 6 different types and each one blew us away. Rich, creamy yet subtle.. the chocolates are very soft to where you may need to place them in a cooler or dry cool place in order for them to survive the drive home during the summer. Amazing service and overall experience. We come to town once a month from 100 miles away for wine. It looks like we have another mandatory stop added in now.

I recently stopped by the St Helena Farmer's Market while traveling between Clear Lake State Park…read moreand Brannan Island State Park. (To be real, I wanted a burger from Gott's, but they weren't open yet.) The market was on the smaller side, with maybe about twenty active booths. It was much smaller than the farmers markets I'm used to in the Sacramento area, but much larger than the 4-booth market in Yosemite Valley. The best decision I made was ordering a ham and Swiss croissant from the pastry booth. Sadly, I don't remember the name of the booth, but it was the best croissant I've ever had in my life. (I think it was West Won Bread, unless it was Patisserie Angelica Sebastopol.) A slightly less wise decision was ordering the strawberry shortcake from the cooking school. The student, who did not give off any kind of competent vibe, whispered to the order-taker, "How do I make that?" She quickly recited, "biscuit, whipped cream, lemon curd, berries." I mean, the photo really speaks for itself. There was less than like two tablespoons worth of chopped berries, and the top of the biscuit was not covered in curd. The flavor was all there, but the presentation and portion sizes were not. Then again, this was a cooking school, so maybe some mistakes are to be expected. I wouldn't have ordered from them if I wasn't willing to take the risk. Even though this is a small market, the quality of the vendors is on the supremely artisan side. Definitely worth stopping by for a bite to eat if you're in the area. (Also a great brunch option.)
