Dining at Trezo Vino Wine Bistro is an inexpensive way to feel like a big spender

After such a sinful lunch, I needed something light for dessert, such as the fresh blueberries in a golden spun-sugar basket served with the white-chocolate fudge and Bailey's Irish Cream crème brûlée. As the bartender walked away with my order, I shouted at her: "Just bring the crème brûlée, dear. Hold the berries."

I didn't want anything too healthy getting in the way of the flavor of the sumptuously satiny chilled custard. And I savored each bite — including the crisp, berryless sugar basket. The fare at Trezo Vino might not cost a lot of money, but it sure as hell tastes like it does.
