And one more thing - when in that area, visit Simon Pearce in Quechee (at the first exit in Vermont off I89). The hand-blown glass is a bit pricey, and some a bit heavy for our tastes, but beautiful. Fun to watch it being made. Check out the water turbine used to generate electricity for the kilns. And visit the restaurant. Beautiful setting overlooking the falls and outstanding food. Beverage service is excellent - they always have one beer on tap from Vermont’s Hill Farmstead, one of the best craft brewers in the US if not the world. Especially try “Conduct of Life” if it’s available. The wine program is outstanding, too. I’ve been introduced to a number of great finds there. No reservations at lunch but they are on Open Table for dinner. The roasted horseradish-crusted cod with crispy leeks (at dinner only) is one of my favorite dishes of all time, and they will never take it off the menu.
