Method to the madness and particular libations of note...

A rare treat for local beer drinkers: Sculpin IPA on cask and draft. This beer isn't even made seasonally, its just brewed when ever the folks at Ballast Point brewery feel like making it, I suppose. Sculpin is citrusy and floraly and its tiny white bubbles remind me of swimming in the ocean.

Wine-wise... We are VERY proud to offer the Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé, 2008. Bandol produces the most serious, well known wines in Provance. The Mourvedre grape rules here. Adding Cinsault and Grenach brings nice fruit and helps to soften the wine. A BEAUTFUL Rose. We offer it as a 2oz taster, by the glass or by the bottle.
