The weekend gets the worm.
This week, we’re hooking you up with an exquisite pair of handmade shades for 20% off, a private wine tasting for you and a date at a charming hilltop winery and 25% off a Bluetooth-enabled thermometer that lets you grill from your couch. Brilliant.
You never know when the chefs at Nombe are going to up and create a pork-belly-and-Wagyu-beef burger with wasabi aioli, shio-koji pickled cucumbers and a bun made out of actual ramen noodles. Wait. This just in: you do know.
There’s a new beer bar in the back of Noir Lounge now. It’s called the Blind Tiger Tap Bar. It’s only got seven seats. And soon, you’ll be sitting in one of them drinking heady pours of Rodenbach’s Grand Cru and Dogfish Head’s Noble Rots. Just letting you know.
When you go to wine country, you taste wine. And when you taste wine, you really wish Hotel Healdsburg would revamp that old lobby bar of theirs and turn it into a shiny new cocktail factory with burnt-orange Manhattans and bourbon drinks with limoncello in them. If only.
You know those butchery classes at 4505. Well, this is kind of like those. Only it’s more of an intense apprenticeship. Good intense. As in, Ryan Farr is about to teach you how to deconstruct entire animals and turn them into sausages and stuff. (Or you could just buy some.)
Sing it with us: happy birthday to Abbot’s Cellar. Happy birthday to Abb... all right, enough singing. Let’s get to the part where they raid the Monk’s Kettle cellar and have an aged-beer sale. Stone’s Double Bastard. Alaskan’s Smoked Porter. Rare stuff. You can buy it and drink it. And then you can sing.
