Gudrun fromagerie and wine bar is literally a hidden gem in Steveston. It’s down an alley protected by a big tree, and as its website states “tucked behind the Filipino karaoke hair salon.”

As you can imagine, I’ve been very lucky to receive some great baby gifts with a food theme, as well as a homemade lasagna. But I was blown away when a delivery man came to our door this week with a sack full of cheese!
