Locally grown in Marin County

During our tour for What We Eat When We Eat Alone, Patrick and I arrived hungry and tired for our last reading at the mighty Point Reyes Books in Marin County, California. Before our presentation, our gracious hosts sent us next door to Osteria Stellina for some dinner.

While ready to eat, we weren’t prepared for the menu, which featured two columns of dishes featuring food from western Marin County and a wine list that nicely followed. (Sean Thackery's“Pleides” from Bolinas, just down the road, is my new favorite red.) We regained our strength with a meal whose lively, lusty flavors reflected that coastal terrain with its wind and fog, ocean, and grass-covered hills. Stellina was stellar.
