WOODSTOCK MAGAZINE - Spring 2006
WINE TASTING EVENTS
"You don't have to visit the vineyards of California or the tony venues of New York City to participate in the sophistication and elegance of a wine tasting event. Here, in Quechee, Vt., Simon Pearce Restaurant holds a series of monthly wine dinners running from November through May. This spring, the remaining dinners are scheduled for March 9, April 5 and May 4."

GOURMET MAGAZINE
The restaurant is acclaimed as one of Vermont's finest,
drawing GOURMET MAGAZINE'S highest rating from food critic Peter
S. Jennison, who writes, "The coarse Ballymaloe bread that arrives
at your table with a crock of sweet butter is, almost alone, worth
the trip. We have never been disappointed by the cuisine."
VICTORIA
MAGAZINE

village of Quechee. Here, famed glass designer Simon Pearce offers
memorable meals presented on his own gleaming tableware - all made
right here in his glass and pottery studios."

TRAVEL & LEISURE MAGAZINE
"The Simon Pearce Restaurant, with its huge windows and blond
wood furniture-is so bright and airy, you feel you're dining inside one
of Pearce's glass bowls. The food is modern American eclectic, with an
occasional Irish touch. It's hard to stop eating the savory scones and
thin slices of Irish brown bread, so delicious with the house-smoked
salmon. The Vermont cheddar soup tastes almost magical when spooned from
an exquisite bell-shaped celadon Pearce cup."
