Wine Pick of the Week:

We have many mushrooms at Sigona's - both fresh and dried. The Maitake, also known as Hen-of-the-Woods, is a deliciously nutritious mushroom with a slightly earthy, almost woody flavor. They're loaded with vitamin D and make a nice addition to anything from soup to quesadillas. They're also an excellent meat substitute, if you're in the mood for a meat-free or vegetarian-based meal. We love how John Sigona used them to zhuzh up a pizza for a get together he held over the weekend where we watched "Handsome Stranger," an indie movie made a few years back by our own John Nava! Organic Maitake mushrooms are on sale this week (Feb. 21, 2025) at $4 off a pound (sale price available for a limited time). Now's your chance to come try them! Visit us in Redwood City and Palo Alto, Calif.
