LOGAN CIRCLE: @vinsurvingt_bars

avocado tartine (+scrambled egg)
- I like the thin toast with this
- they did not skimp on the avocado
- eggs cooked PERFECT (extra $$)
- not sure it was worth $18….
bayonne tartine

fries!
- always a side of fries
- in all honesty I ordered these because they didn’t have coffee… weird for brunch to not have coffee

i really like this restaurant for dinner, i would not put it on your list for brunch. good but not worth the price! taken in Vin Sur Vingt by @feastingwithfranny

WINERY: @pippinhillfarm

white wine flight
- perfect for 2
- about 1/3 of a glass each for every type
- the first white, zero white, was my favorite!
reserve wine flight

PHF board
- with wine you must have cheese.
- cheesy bread crisps!
- spicy mustard and jams >>>

this place is AMAZING. the view, the grounds, the atmosphere all 10/10, and only 2.5 hours from D.C. the food is focused on garden to table cuisine, and you can take bottles of your favorite wine to-go ofc! I will be back here asap! taken in Charlottesville, Virginia by @feastingwithfranny
