It is always nice to get away for a long weekend, right? The wonderful thing about living in central New England is that a 2 hour drive in any direction can get you to some very lovely locations, like the south eastern coast of Connecticut. A couple of years ago our friends Steve and Suzanne opened up a business educating people about the health benefits of high quality olive oils and vinegars in the charming town of Pawcatuck, CT, which is right on the border of Rhode Island. I have been following their progress on Facebook and have been fascinated by what they were doing so HEY, why not visit them AND take in the sights in the area. According to the foliage map, that part of New England would also be at peak so we decided to take a tour of eastern Connecticut rather than jump on the interstate. It was a delight to get out the map (rather than program the GPS) and just take off. It was like traveling in a bygone era. I am old enough to remember when there weren't so many interstates and one got out a map and read it when one was traveling into an unfamiliar area. We definitely needed to slow down and relax. I had forgotten just how nice traveling can be when you get to actually see all the towns along the way. We arrived at Capizzano Oils around 3:00, a perfect time for a tasting.
