Drinking Like a Local
This being Northern California, there are lots of choices for wines produced within 100 miles, and even if you limit it to 50, you can easily be a lushy locavore. But let's say you want to grace your Thanksgiving table with the most locally produced wine you can? In that case, you'd be hard pressed to find a much closer winery than Revolution Wines in Midtown.
Just opened this summer at 21st and P Streets, the Revolution tasting room and winery was brought to fruition by Jason Fernandez and Joe Genshlea. They won a gold medal for their Zinfandel at this year's State Fair and they also have a Pinot Grigio for sipping. You can find Revolution wines at several local restaurants and markets. Check out their Web site for the latest list. And if you like what you find, you can also sign up for their Revolution Wine Club.
But man can live by wine alone (much as he might want to try), so check out our post from last year on eating locally for Thanksgiving, and give thanks for all the wonderful choices we have in local food and drink!
