One of my favorite places to fill a Wine Country picnic basket is New York’s version of a swank European marketplace, Dean & Deluca. The ultimate in gourmet grocery stores is more like a world’s fair of foods, where everything is beautifully displayed and often painfully pricey. As you pace the barn-wood plank floors, you’ll stumble upon more high-end edibles than you’ve probably ever seen under one roof. They include local organic produce (delivered daily); 200 domestic and imported cheeses (with an on-site aging room to ensure proper ripeness); shelves and shelves of tapenades, pastas, oils, hand-packed dried herbs and spices, chocolates, sauces, cookware, and housewares; an espresso bar; one hell of a bakery section; and more. Along the back wall, you can watch the professional chefs prepare gourmet takeout, including salads, rotisserie meats, and sautéed vegetables. You can also snag a pricey bottle from the wine section’s 1,200-label collection. The store is open daily from 9am to 7pm (the espresso bar is open Mon-Sat at 7:30am and Sun at 9am). If you’re itching to eat, you can indulge at patio tables outside, but there are far more picturesque places to nosh throughout the valley.
