I don't know Food & Wine, I think you've overlooked my pick for best bread in Connecticut - Uncle Matt's Bakery & Cafe at 105 Church Hill Road in Sandy Hook. I bought a loaf of Uncle Matt's Olive Sourdough last week that was everything I could have dreamed of. I'm headed up to Bantam Bread this week, I can tell you that.
