REVIEW. BY KITTY HODGET|'S

£3  ' ave you been to the
Grapevine Grille in Mid-

: . dlebury?” “Yes, I have!!” I
was talking to my friend Andrea,
and we both agreed that our fa-
vorite sandwich is the authentic

 

Maryland shrimp salad, creatively_

named “Sittin’ on the Dock of the
Bay."' - '
The truth is that I have liked
_ everything I have tried at the

Grapevine Grille, a tiny restaurant
tucked into the red schoolhouse
on Rt. 7 just south of Middlebury.
In fact, there are 20 sandwiches

to choose from with names such
as “Take a-Letter Fajita” (a grilled
quesadilla); “Go Ask Alice” (grilled
Portobello mushroom); and “R U
Smokin’ What I’m Wrappin’ “(fresh
roasted turkey breast); plus daily

The Grapevine Grille is
owned ‘and operated by Charlene
Potter and Nancy Geoghegan,
who opened the restaurant ear-
lier this year. Nancy previously
owned a catering business in
Maryland, and Charlene is bever-
age director at a local restaurant
where the two met.

How did they come up with
the names for their creations?
They come from the music from
their past. The first sandwich
named was the “Avacada Davida”
(grilled chicken with avocado).
Then there’s “Under the Pork-
walk,” “Sargent Pepper’s Lonely
Hearts Club Sand(wich),” and

“Oh Mexico.”

Here’s the best part - they do
not use any preserved meats, use
all fresh veggies, and make their
own dressings and aiolis. The sal-
ads and soups are freshly made.
Homemade! The soups are cre-
ative and they watch the weather
to know what soups to make. In
the summer they make chilled,
or lighter soups. Now that fall is
on its way, heartier soups are on
order, such as Roasted Red Pep-
per and Tomato Bisque.

Now to the wine room. Al-

though Nancy and Charlene say
that they are not wine experts,
they are wine educated and expe-
rienced. There are more than 200
labels to choose from in a range
of prices, including many good
