Shameless plug department, section Central Coast
For those of you who read the New York Times on Sunday do check out the Style magazine section today (9/23) under "Places". It covers pierino's home town in some detail for wine, olive and cheeses as well as other great places on California's Central Coast. And of course pierino is always willing to provide concierge services to visiting Food52ers.

...and I'm always happy to talk barter.

It's in the "T" magazine - a special quarterly Style magazine supplement published in The New York Times newspaper - size of the Sunday magazine. (But not in the regular Style sections of the newspaper.)
