" In-the-Know Local: Emily Blistein, owner and creative director of Middlebury, Vermont&amp;#039;s Clementine, a shop full of handmade and vintage finds  Must-Visit Vermont Spot: Shacksbury Cider&amp;#039;s monthly supper club in Shoreham, Vermont Why Visit: &amp;quot;The community dinners hosted by Shacksbury Cider feature a different local chef or culinary partner each month,&amp;quot; says Blistein of the supper club that&amp;#039;s recently highlighted local cheese, chocolate, and salumi makers. &amp;quot;Small and casual, the gatherings are hosted at the farm of one of Shacksbury&amp;#039;s owners in Shoreham, Vermont, and the drive takes you through some of the state&amp;#039;s most beautiful valleys and vistas.&amp;quot; To find out about the next date and menu, email david@shacksbury.com.   If You Go: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d start the day in Middlebury with an espresso at Cursive Coffee (my next door neighbor), then walk a quick block to Edgewater Gallery, where Cynthia Kirkwood&amp;#039;s paintings always take my breath away. Those with a sweet tooth shouldn&amp;#039;t miss the newly reopened Middlebury Chocolates for a sample of their incredible bean-to-bar treats (the Vermonty, with a bit of coffee and maple, is my favorite). If you&amp;#039;re visiting in the fall, venture a mile out of town to Happy Valley Orchard to sample a fresh cider donut and pick-you-own apples or pumpkins.&amp;quot; Want to share what&amp;#039;s special about your state?
