Market St. Helena, CA
Vibe: funky, artisanal,one stop shopping
What I loved about it: lots beautiful tree ripened fruit, artisan producers of fine foods and friendly people
Next time I will: bring a cooler, last time we were on our way to vineyard tour and had no way of protecting all the fresh goodies we wanted to buy from the sun
Recipe Inspiration: stone fruits-nectarines
