We had a get together of Richmond food bloggers associated with the aggregator Eating Richmond. The venue was perfect, Olio is a European market with great cheeses, cured meats, and outstanding hot dishes, pizza's and cold beer (oh yeah and wine). They had very interesting oils, vinegars and canned/bottled products
The beer selection was great, and at least that night was grab what you want and have the counter open it for you.
The cured meat section had some great selections
The olives where great as was the proscioutto
I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite foods marinated white anchovies in the display
It was a very interesting and enjoyable night for me, meeting such a diverse, intelligent and pleasant group of people with a shared interest in good food.
