We visited Brown Brothers Winery restaurant for lunch — one of the few refined dining options in the area, and it didn’t disappoint. They were very accommodating when we needed to reschedule, which was much appreciated.

It was a Sunday afternoon, and we were seated on a table from where we could easily look to a counter in the indoor section where the entrance to the kitchen is....In case this would be helpful to locate the attendant (a slight resemblance to Ed Sheeran minus the...
