ATTENTION WINE DRINKERS
You may have noticed the bottle hangers on our wine bottles. One of our favorite publications is the Wine Spectator Magazine. Richard Uñ
spends many hours researching our wines using the Wine Spectator Database, and you can always count on our shelf talkers to be vintage accurate.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for gelato!! Head over to Zaza's, 5600 Kavanaugh in Little Rock, 501-661-9292 and scoop up a fabulous, creamy treat. While you are at it, take some home. You can't get away with trying out just one flavor!
The only thing that could possibly make one scoop of Zaza's gelato any better is a second one or a piece of cake from Boulevard!
There is a display case just inside the front door that your sweet tooth is hungry for. Go check out the luscious cakes, whole or by the slice, at Boulevard Bread, 1920 N. Grant in Little Rock, 501-663-5951. Get there early and grab some delicious pastries for breakfast(our favs...almond crescents!) and Italian roast coffee for the weekend.
