The Franciscan Napa cab is always solid at $20, but with an outstanding vintage like 2015, it really over delivers. Fruit forward but also shows some depths and complexity. Oak use is quite lavish for a wine in this price range as it spent 20 months in small French barrels with 20% new, and it shows with supple mouth feel with toffee and wood spice. But it’s not overkilled. Chewy and a bit dusty tannins. 81% Cab, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. — 7 years ago

Fernet Branca is San Francisco's magical elixir of lore. Equal parts hangover prevention and morning after cure; it is an acquired taste but one that every San Franciscan must embrace. The traditional way to consume fernet is neat with a back of ginger beer. Sip fernet, sip ginger, repeat... Ask for a fernet and ginger as you wrap up dinner at any restaurant in SF and you will receive a knowing nod from your server followed quickly by your glass of fernet branca. — 9 years ago

This is, to Corsair’s knowledge, the first ever whiskey derived from quinoa – although a handful of additional distillers have followed suit. In actuality, it tastes like, well, quinoa – capturing the grain’s earthy flavors and a certain grassy dryness, like some pastoral windblown field. Not surprising to this San Franciscan, the quinoa whiskey reportedly sells well in California. — 8 years ago
