Market Report: mushrooms amidst the vineyards of the Napa Valley

Pears, mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and heirloom tomatoes are among Victoria Slind-Flor's finds at the farmers market just outside of St. Helena, surrounded by the famed vineyards of northern California's Napa Valley. Victoria also finds grapes, but not the sort that are turned into wine. These are indigenous American Niabel grapes, which are too "grapey" for some, but not for Victoria.

Read Victoria's report on her Oct. 21 visit to the St. Helena farmers Market.
