Hi Darryl, What do you mean by an "extremely well-chilled chardonnay?"

It's another Cocktail Hour on The World on Wheels. Today, it's around 110 degrees on the patio so we extol the virtues of an extremely well-chilled chardonnay: http://tinyurl.com/2d54225

Here are three diners in New Hampshire's White Mountains that are great for breakfast. They are: the Sunny Day Diner in Lincoln; Main Street Station in Plymouth; and Lou's Restaurant in Hanover. (Photo: Eggs Marcella at Main Street Station in Plymouth, NH)

On a recent mini-vacation to the Berkshires, we dined at two noteworthy places.

At Mezze Bistro + Bar in Williamstown, we had one of the best meals we've had in a long time. The farm-to-table concept is imaginatively and flawlessly executed here. I had a perfectly cooked pan-roasted halibut in a light provencale-type sauce, with a roasted beet appetizer. My husband had the pork loin, which was plump and flavorful; and the Mighty Food Farm egg appetizer, a playful twist on a soft-boiled/hard-boiled egg. We shared a cheese plate for dessert. Everything was exquisite. Short but great wine list, with unusual selections. I had a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, which was wonderfully crisp; the waiter recommended an ale for my husband that was perfect. Terrific, unobtrusive service by well-trained waiters: a "you-guys"-free zone. The latest menu, updated for Fall, looks great.

We also enjoyed Gramercy Bistro in North Adams. Wonderfully hand-crafted and engagingly presented food is made from locally sourced ingredients. I had the best sweetbreads of my life - light and heavenly, with a green salad topped with local chevre and a delicate vinaigrette. My husband had a perfect filet served with a potato puree and green beans - simple but wonderful. He pronounced the chicken liver mousse app the best he had eaten anywhere in the world, including France - transcendent. There's a short but thoughtfully assembled wine list with reasonably priced wines by the glass, including a Celestin Blondeau sauvignon blanc (France) that was just terrific. Service was pleasant but a bit uneven.

We closed out the summer with wine flights at Lago Restaurant in Meredith, New Hampshire. Lago serves Tuscan fare in a relaxing, casual setting overlooking Meredith Bay. It's part of the Common Man family of restaurants, which generally provide comfort food and good wine at reasonable prices in casual, friendly settings.

I love Corkscrew all year round, watching the changes is fascinating. Yes, conditions are more pleasant in the winter, though and the migratory species are in residence.
