      It's an unassuming little roadside business that doesn't even have its own website at the moment, but Sprigs and Sprouts is a bit of local color worth taking a detour for. One of the producers of lavender, a prominent local crop, Sprigs and Sprouts also has a shop stocked with the most astounding varieties of oils and vinegars you ever could imagine, as well as spices, jams and jellies and other items.You can sample the oils and vinegars in various combination on various foodstuffs ranging from bread and greens to, believe it or or not, ice cream. And the owners are delightful ladies who make your visit even more memorable.

      If you go:
      Open daily 9:00 to 6:00. The community around Palisade is also home to many wineries.

        When we first launched RoadTripAmerica.com our articles about some of the places we visited were the only such pages on the Web and for many years, RTA functioned as THE web site for some of the smaller destinations found out there. Interesting to discover that you've continued that tradition.

        I love ferreting out spots like this that are off the beaten track -- especially when they're operated by such delightful personalities.

        Dennis,

        Did you sample the wares at the Mead winery store? The secret with tasting Mead --- is don't have more than a taste if you're going to be driving any time soon!

        I did tour several wineries, but it looks like I missed this one. (Fortunately, someone else was driving.)

        You gotta stop sometime. Normally, I avoid sweet wine of any kind. But Mead is something worth trying!

        Most of the wine in the region is sweeter than I like -- but still fun to stop and see what they are doing.
