We were in Fargo today for an enjoyable lunch and some shopping. Someone told us to look for a place called “Vintner’s” on Broadway and we found it, just a few blocks south of where we had lunch before at “Toscano’s” -- also on Broadway. Here they make and sell over 40 kinds of wine.
In the entrance way, there was this photo of Broadway 70 years ago (top photo) before our nation was involved in WWII. Vintner’s is the establishment which is the fourth from the left. The RR gates then belonged to the Northern Pacific. Today we had to wait for a BNSF freight train to pass at this same intersection, carrying building products from the West.
For lunch we chose an excellent basil tomato soup with a half sandwich. For a beverage we chose their Winter Spice, which is Vintner’s equivalent of a Pinot Grigio, one of Lois’ favorites. It was a delicious lunch.
Of the over 40 types of wine, Vintner’s offers 13 fruit wines. We are not big on fruit wines. There are five North Dakota wines -- Chokecherry, Foch, St. Croix, Rhubarb and Strawberry Rhubarb. We were looking for a “Juneberry” but maybe that’s something they could work on. Three of these are also fruit wines. There are six whites, imitating the usual flavors. The reds are the biggest group with 15 different types.
Lunch continues to be our favorite way of going out for a meal. We can take our time and not worry about work schedules.
