Big thanks to two Exeter independent shops

We had a reception here over the weekend with the American Booksellers Association, which was great fun. The board flew in from all over the country for their meeting, and we did the wine and cheese thing here Friday night. I just want to say a quick but enthusiastic thank you to two local Exeter shops for their help with the reception: La Cave a Vin and Hannah's. Laura at La Cave a Vin put together an amazing display of wine, cheese and fruit for a very reasonable price. She also carefully set up the table and made everything look lovely. And the wonderful people at Hannah's donated a big bag with hummus, tabbouleh and other treats if we put out their menus. Hannah's has both hot and cold items and a great dessert case. The people there are always incredibly friendly and accommodating. La Cave a Vin has wine and gourmet cheese, in a range of prices, as well as wine tastings and classes. La Cave is located at 103 Water Street and Hannah's is at 130 Water Street. Let's support our independent Exeter!
