Building a Foundation

Josh and I drove to Napa this past weekend with Ems, Dai, Will, and Beans! Our first stop was lunch--of course. We needed a base or foundation that would soak up all the yummy wine that we would soon be "tasting". Emily suggested we eat at a deli on Main Street, "Giugni W F & Son Grocery Co.". Unlike most delis I've been to, this one did not offer a menu featuring special sandwiches unique to the deli. You create your own based on a long list of uber-fresh ingredients and it's up to YOU the diner, to make the magic happen. Josh's masterpiece was roast pork and havarti on rosemary bread. When posed with too many choices, I tend to choke. And so, he created a second masterpiece of prosciutto and mozzarella on dutch roll. The slices of cheese and meats were, is it strange to say, BEAUTIFUL. Thinly-sliced and perfectly layered an sandwiched between fresh rolls, mayo, lettuce, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, and "Giugni juice" (a special mixture of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper). My meal was tasty, but Josh's was particularly good. Luckily, he cared to share.
