Place for a Sandwich Giugni W F & Son P Grocery & Deli 707-963-3421 1227 Main St., St. Helena Giugnis.com St. Helena has plenty of eateries, but one need not look further than Giugni W F & Son for an exceptional deli experience. Best known for their made-to-order sandwiches loaded up with a wide selection of choice meats and cheeses sliced fresh to order and served with the “the works,” many make the trip for “Giugini Juice,” an Italian style sauce made with red wine vinegar, canola oil, herbs, salt & pepper which is drizzled on sandwiches and salads. It’s always crowded, so plan accordingly.
