a pleasant lunch. downtown downers grove, illinois, wins every year in charm and vitality. we enjoyed many lunches in the beautiful restaurants on and from main street. we are happy to have another fine restaurant, cellar door. the day was beautiful so we wanted to sit outside. it was suggested that we think about the cheese and meat plate. we have selected four delicious cheeses and three thin cut meats. it came with warm brot and crackers. there were walnuts and dried cirches to decorate the plate and tickle the palate. one of the cheese, explorateaur, a French brie, was absolutely wonderful. my wife liked it so much that she asked where she could buy something and was told to load in the next city, it was on camp. we also had prosciutto and some jambon de pays. it was all wonderful. of course we had to have a nice pigtail. they have recommended an Argentine chardonay. it was pretty good to be chilled, refreshing without blocking the taste. in everything it was lovely. the cheese plate and the two glasses wein without drinking money were $37.
