Pascaline is found in this unexpected location. It's a traditional french bakery in the heart of the wine country. Wonderful selection of sweet and savory pastries. There is more outdoor seating than indoor. It's a pit stop for bicyclists. Well worth a stop. Next Door is Mom's Pies. They have a broad selection of pies. I've never tried them, but it's worth a look.
