I just tasted the most delicious Zinfandel at the Back Alley ,121 Bridge Street on Anna Maria Island. Owner, Jo Ann, who makes my cafe au lait in the coolness of the mornings, will now be serving wine and sandwiches in her charming back alley courtyard.
The wine is from Windsor’s award winning series from Mendicino.
In the evening, on weekends, you can hear live island music under the moon. She paired the Zin, from with her own cheese dip. Recipe and website to follow. 941-778-1800.
This is the secret season on Saraota’s sister islands.
