Rewinery – Affordable Home Wine Delivery in San Francisco

Like 0 Retweet 0 Pin it 0 Send via email

Rewinery may have just become my new San Francisco BFF and it's Romy (the cat) approved. Two bottles of selectively-curated wine delivered by bike anywhere in San Francisco within your chosen time frame for only $30. My order impressively arrived within an hour of placing order by a friendly (and extemely fit) cyclist.

Now until 9/28, use code "foodfashionista2" for $15 off to make it ONLY $15 for two bottles of wine and delivery directly to your front door. The French Seguin Blanc de Noirs (pictured above) is only available thru the weekend, so act fast if you want some sparkling bubbles in your life.

Cheers, to Rewinery.

SF Cocktail Week is back and boozier than ever. The upcoming 2012 festivities showcases the return of some of SFCW's most beloved events from years past as well as some unexpected twists and inaugural offerings, including a food and cocktail pairing event in partnership with the SoMa Streat Food Park, a celebration of local Bay Area distilleries and an Altered California State Fair (we could only imagine, but guessing it's better when imbibed). Below is a highlighted list of the main events, but be sure to visit SFCW's website for full schedule and updates.

2012 MAIN EVENTS SCHEDULE

The Artisan Tasting
Monday, September 17, 6-9 p.m.
Tickets: $45 in advance & $55 at the door

Guests will explore the flavors of unique creations of locally-based distillers with an opening night bash, full of discoveries from the Bay Area’s world of artisan spirits and food pairings. This experience is dedicated to the local craftspeople who strive to make products of inspirational flavor and quality—the driving force behind the ever-evolving industry of the American cocktail.

Nombe’s Mission Beer Garden is Back – San Francisco

Like 0 Retweet 0 Pin it 0 Send via email

Following its festive inaugural Mission Beer Garden celebration on the rooftop of Wix Lounge, Nombe has mapped out future dates including one happening this Friday 7/20. For only $15/person ($18 at the door) each guest will receive 3 pints of beer from featured breweries Kirin, Pacific Brewing Labs and Speakeasy. There will also be a variety of Japanese street food on hand including edamame, chicken wings, pork belly, hand-rolled sushi, chicken katsu sandwiches and more. So, if you are trying to figure out how to start off the weekend, now you know. Kick back and kanpai with your friends with a beer in hand and spread the word. And since it only goes on until 8pm, you still have time to grab dinner at Nombe or one of your other favorite Mission eateries before you head to your next destination.

Nombe believes in community, so a portion of proceeds will go toward La Cocina, a non-profit incubator program that supports low-income edible enterprises.

Here are some of my pics from the last event:

Only after I glanced at day before yesterday's Instagram did I realize that everything I posted had a French theme. No surprise there. J'aime la France. Happy Bastille Day, my friends.

Moules Frites (Mussels and Fries) with a baguette and a glass of Beaujolais at Grand Cafe. Although the Orpheum is in a sketchy neighborhood, Grand Cafe is a good spot to grab a quick, pre-theatre bite followed by a brisk 10-15 minute walk to the play to burn calories. *Note the French newspaper.

Les miserables 25th anniversary orpheum theatre

The 25th of Anniversary of Les Misérables is now showing at the Orpehum Theatre. I attended the Opening Night performance this week and fell in Les Mis love all over again. You can catch it now through August 26th. Dream the dream.

Cassava Bakery & Cafe – San Francisco

Like 0 Retweet 0 Pin it 0 Send via email

This is no ordinary neighborhood café and bakery. Cassava is the Outer Richmond gem serving well-executed offerings, at affordable prices. Tiny in size, but big on flavors, this newlywed team of Kris Toliao and Yuko Ioroi incorporate high-quality ingredients into their short, but sweet menu. Start the day off with a Sous-vide poached egg with chorizo, queso fresco and tomato sauce or a just out-of-the oven quiche. Toliao’s attention to detail is apparent with previous stints at Michelin-starred spots including Luce in S.F., and Kikunoi in Japan. And speaking of Japanese, Cassava serves a traditional Japanese breakfast on weekends. They also offer special dinner tasting menus at their 12-seat communal table, but do book up fast. It’s BYOB until they get their wine and beer license, so grab your favorite beverage and come on over to Cassava.
