  2. Discovered your blog through the Monteluce site.

    I can vouch for the awesome-ness of that apple pie - my wife and I dined at Le Vigne on Valentine's night and the apple pie...wow, the apple pie - the crust reminded us, in taste, of a funnel cake in a way, which is a huge compliment in my book (I mean, honestly - who wouldn't want to dig in to that?).

    We had a fantastic dinner - our first time dining at the restaurant, other than a few small items to accompany the wine tastngs we've done. We both particularly loved our first courses (cauliflower & white chocolate soup and the pea shoot & arugula salad - both terrific) and the pork shank - extremely tender & moist, you should make that a staple on the menu!


    One quick question - do you know the name of the Italian wine that was paired with the apple pie? That glass of wine was the perfect compliment to a dessert - a great ending to the meal.

    Great food & atmosphere - we'll be back!
