Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

Says Ben Fetzer of their rural vineyards, \"Most people think they are lost when they get here.\" Sometimes one has to get lost to really make a discovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/IMG_0341.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44833\" title=\"Abiouness Wines\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/IMG_0341.jpg\" alt=\"Abiouness Wines\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://abiounesswines.com/\">\u003cstrong>Abiouness\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nLast but not least is Abiouness named after the owner and winemaker, Nicole Abiouness who says the name is a compliment to her Lebanese father. The 2008 Stanly Ranch Pinot from Carneros ($38) is a very small production, only 218 cases were made. This is typical California Pinot, fruit forward and smooth with a long, lush finish. Others, too, must think highly of Abiouness, her wines have been found at such lofty restaurants as \u003ca href=\"http://www.frenchlaundry.com/\">The French Laundry\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

With the highway behind you, stop, stretch your legs, check out the many antique shops, funky boutiques, and thrift stores, then, of course, get a bite to eat. Petaluma Boulevard is the town's main drag, but it's worth walking down the side streets, too; otherwise you might settle for Starbucks instead of the third-wave coffee served at the nifty \u003ca href=\"http://www.acrecoffee.com/\">Acre Coffee\u003c/a>, which opened in September of last year.

The ceilings are high, the bar (where locals gather to eat, drink, and kibbitz) front and center. \"We're still getting discovered by people,\" says Tim, who opened the place with his wife Kate hoping to create a \"neighborhood joint\" for locals, especially those in the 2-block-by-8-block riverfront district, where some 200 residential units have recently joined the old industrial spaces, where much of Petaluma's agricultural output was processed for shipping to San Francisco and beyond. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/LUMAownerskatetime700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/LUMAownerskatetime700-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Luma owners.

(Given Petaluma's history as the egg basket of Northern California, a beer company named after a chicken coop is no surprise.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a short but intriguing wine list in place, LUMA's now working on building up a beer program to match. \"The craft breweries in this neck of the woods are phenomenal. Everyone who works here is very into beer. Up the North Coast, the Lost Coast, the beer scene is really exploding.\" says Tim. He hopes that, over time, the menu could adapt to accommodate these new beers, although already the Satan's Kiss pizza, topped with roasted cherry peppers, Italian sausage, mozzarella, and ricotta seems custom-made for a tall draft. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And speaking of beer, don't let the name fool you: although the company started in West Marin, the popular, rapidly expanding Lagunitas Brewing Company now brews in Petaluma. They offer tasting tours of the brewery Monday through Friday at 3pm, as well walk-through tours Wednesday through Friday at 3pm and 5pm, Saturday and Sunday at 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/LAGUNITAStankscows1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/LAGUNITAStankscows280.jpg\" alt=\"LAGUNITAS tanks and cows\" title=\"LAGUNITAS tanks and cows\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40750\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/LAGUNITAStaproomsign1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/LAGUNITAStaproomsign2801.jpg\" alt=\"LAGUNITAS taproom sign\" title=\"LAGUNITAS taproom sign\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40757\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attached to the brewery is a lively taproom and beer garden with live music and plenty of special brews on tap. Although the whole complex is a few miles out of town, along a drab stretch of road lined with anonymous office parks, plenty of beer enthusiasts find their way here by happy hour; on a recent Friday night, parking spots were rare and nearly every outdoor picnic table was filled.

We got a mix of bright, grapefruity Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin; malty, mellow Wilco Tango Foxtrot (abbreviated, naturally, to WTF); snappy, yeasty Hop Stoopid, which smelled like baking bread and which we dubbed the \"breakfast beer\", and the brunch-worthy, coffee-flavored Cappuccino Stout. Pretzels and peanuts in the shell come with the brews, but there's a menu of panini, sausages, and other bar snacks, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prefer a taste that's a little more Downton Abbey? Try a dessert-wine sipping at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.portworks.com\">Sonoma Valley Portworks\u003c/a>, where you can sip port, sherry, muscat, even grappa.

Wente) brought Chardonnay cuttings from France back to California and planted them in Livermore. One hundred years later \u003ca href=\"http://www.wineinstitute.org/resources/winefactsheets/article98\">California Chardonnay\u003c/a> is the most planted wine grape in the state and most of it is still started from a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wente_Vineyards\">Wente clone\u003c/a>. Like any centenarian, California Chardonnay is a survivor. Chardonnay plantings at Wente Vineyards were among the few to make it through prohibition. The varietal has survived disease as well as corporatization which eventually put mediocre Chardonnays on nearly every menu as the house white. And now it is overcoming an infatuation with a certain flavor profile. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/RuedGrapes-258x300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/RuedGrapes-258x300.jpg\" alt=\"Old Wente Chardonnay Clone\" title=\"Old Wente Chardonnay Clone\" width=\"365\" height=\"423\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39774\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Old Wente Chardonnay Clone.

In the 1950s, Ambassador James Zellerbach brought French oak barrels to the U.S. to use for aging wine. His success making Burgundian Chardonnays at \u003ca href=\"http://www.hanzell.com/\">Hanzell Vineyards\u003c/a> encouraged others to use oak barrels and likely influenced \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)\">Chateau Montelena's victory over French Chardonnay\u003c/a> in 1976. But for many, bigger is better. The trend of aging in new French oak barrels took off in California. By the late 1980s that nice, toasty quality from the French oak became a kind of crack cocaine for winemakers-- addictive to the point of excess. Fortunately, the trend is beginning to correct itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Meanwhile, Back in Livermore\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with many younger winemakers, fifth generation \u003ca href=\"http://www.jennfarrington.com/publication_2008-10_tasting_panel_magazine_cover_why_karl_wente_rocks.html\">Karl Wente\u003c/a> is less enamored of the big oak, high alcohol trend. He would never say that outright. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.wentevineyards.com/blog/yoga-for-life/\">a serious practicing yogi\u003c/a>, Wente is less judgmental than I am. He would say something like, “Stylistically, I want the fruit to be more expressive.” At 6 foot 7, Karl Wente may be carrying the weight of his family's legacy on his shoulders but he is also reaching out to a new generation of wine drinkers who already know a thing, or two, about wine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_0198.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_0198.jpg\" alt=\"Tasting Wente Chardonnays with Karl Wente\" title=\"Tasting Wente Chardonnays with Karl Wente\" width=\"500\" height=\"345\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39553\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Tasting with Karl Wente.

It was paired with a fowl terrine. \"Awesome\" was the way Karl Wente explained it. I agreed it had great acidity. If cost was not an issue growers would farm in the style of Wente's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wentevineyards.com/wine/nth_degree/nth_degree_chardonnay/\">Nth Degree\u003c/a> line.

The problem is many people don’t realize there is any other style.

Wente) brought Chardonnay cuttings from France back to California and planted them in Livermore. One hundred years later \u003ca href=\"http://www.wineinstitute.org/resources/winefactsheets/article98\">California Chardonnay\u003c/a> is the most planted wine grape in the state and most of it is still started from a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wente_Vineyards\">Wente clone\u003c/a>. Like any centenarian, California Chardonnay is a survivor. Chardonnay plantings at Wente Vineyards were among the few to make it through prohibition. The varietal has survived disease as well as corporatization which eventually put mediocre Chardonnays on nearly every menu as the house white. And now it is overcoming an infatuation with a certain flavor profile. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the 1950s, Ambassador James Zellerbach brought French oak barrels to the U.S. to use for aging wine. His success making Burgundian Chardonnays at \u003ca href=\"http://www.hanzell.com/\">Hanzell Vineyards\u003c/a> encouraged others to use oak barrels and likely influenced \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)\">Chateau Montelena's victory over French Chardonnay\u003c/a> in 1976. But for many, bigger is better. The trend of aging in new French oak barrels took off in California. By the late 1980s that nice, toasty quality from the French oak became a kind of crack cocaine for winemakers-- addictive to the point of excess. Fortunately, the trend is beginning to correct itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Meanwhile, Back in Livermore\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with many younger winemakers, fifth generation \u003ca href=\"http://www.jennfarrington.com/publication_2008-10_tasting_panel_magazine_cover_why_karl_wente_rocks.html\">Karl Wente\u003c/a> is less enamored of the big oak, high alcohol trend. He would never say that outright. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.wentevineyards.com/blog/yoga-for-life/\">a serious practicing yogi\u003c/a>, Wente is less judgmental than I am. He would say something like, “Stylistically, I want the fruit to be more expressive.” At 6 foot 7, Karl Wente may be carrying the weight of his family's legacy on his shoulders but he is also reaching out to a new generation of wine drinkers who already know a thing, or two, about wine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_0198.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/03/IMG_0198.jpg\" alt=\"Tasting Wente Chardonnays with Karl Wente\" title=\"Tasting Wente Chardonnays with Karl Wente\" width=\"500\" height=\"345\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39553\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Tasting with Karl Wente.

Photo: Kena Frank\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepping through the doors of Bergamot Alley, the newest addition to Healdsburg’s food and wine scene, I’m greeted with a warm hug from the hostess. A long hug. Let me backtrack. I’m from Healdsburg, a fifth-generation rarity who moved to San Francisco almost 10 years ago and only travels back home sporadically. Every time I do, though, I find that another friend, or pair of friends, or group of friends, has opened up or is planning on opening up a cool new spot in my hometown. Bergamot Alley is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brainchild of Kevin Wardell, formerly a sommelier at \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a>, and his partner Sarah Johnson, Bergamot Alley looks like it was born of a machine shop and an artistic city-slicker. The lofty space on Healdsburg Avenue was formerly a jumbled antiques mall filled with woodstoves and tractor parts, and the original brick walls have been carefully exposed. The 17-foot ceilings are finished in their original tin from 1896. Because the building is one of Healdsburg’s oldest, Wardell says, it has a certain landmark status that inspired the décor. In the walls: a wooden brick here, a tin patch there, small iron bars jutting out at random angles. The “wallscape” somehow works together, with a collection of air gardens climbing the bricks and vending-machine bouncing balls shoved onto the ends of the iron bars to turn them into functional coat and purse racks. A plaster wall that divides Bergamot Alley from its next-door-neighbor sports decals by Telluride, CO-based artist Nathan Frerichs, the whimsical squid and octopus looking as at home here in the Dry Creek Valley as they would on a T-shirt sold on Haight Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\" alt=\"owners: Sarah Johnson and Kevin Wardell.

Photo: Kena Frank\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bergamot Alley is intended to be a “bar without a bar,” says Wardell. “There’s no division between the customer and the people who work here,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We wanted to have a space that really felt like a community room, where the flow of the people and the energy is uninterrupted by a bar.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Large, community-style tables that can fit up to 10 people are hand-welded with kick-plates made from WWII-era hot-dog bun baking trays. The chairs are from elementary schools, with taller legs welded to them to elevate the drinker to barstool height. The vibe: all-encompassing and welcoming. Whether you’re a local, a tourist, or a “new local” with a chateau out in the valley and perfectly mucked designer Wellingtons, you’ll feel at home here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to avoid the ‘me versus you’ of the typical bar,” says Wardell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That works great for tasting rooms, but we’re inviting a community-based dynamic here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/beer-fridge300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/beer-fridge300.jpg\" alt=\"Bergamot Alley beer fridge.

Yet that's what Bergamot Alley does! But because of Wardell and Johnson's deep respect for, and involvement in, the local community, their decision to focus on interesting foreign wines is a welcome breath of fresh air through the old-growth Zinfandel vines--not an affront. Aside from an entirely Mediterranean wine list that offers a large selection by the glass, there's a wide selection of microbrewed beers, the Alley's concession to keeping the locavores happy. All draft beers are local, and a medical refrigerator full of eclectic American 750’s and Bombers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.allagash.com/beer/year-round/curieux\">Allagash Curieux\u003c/a> (Portland, ME), \u003ca href=\"http://northcoastbrewing.com/beer-brotherThelonious.htm\">Brother Thelonious\u003c/a> (Fort Bragg, CA), and \u003ca href=\"http://www.lagunitas.com/beers/\">Lagunitas\u003c/a>’ Cappuccino Stout (Petaluma, CA) is designed to be self-serve. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customers are encouraged to grab their own beers as servers bring around stacks of glasses, contributing to the general picnicking atmosphere. Completing the picnic vibe will be a snacking menu, due to debut on March 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the best chefs in town, all friends of Wardell, will be contributing to Bergamot Alley’s menu. Expect offerings from the owners of \u003ca href=\"http://zazurestaurant.com/\">Zazu\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scopahealdsburg.com/\">Scopa\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.diavolapizzeria.com/\">Diavola\u003c/a> on the “jars and tins,” menu, which will feature items easily shared amongst friends at one of the Alley’s long tables or taken to go with a bottle of semi-sparkling Provenza “Turbiano” Rosato Groppello and enjoyed outdoors at one of the many surrounding wineries’ picnic areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/porndoor300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/porndoor300.jpg\" alt=\"Porn Door.

The grab-and-go (or grab-and-stay!) menu is designed to be paired with the wines, all of which can be purchased by the bottle and taken with you. Bottles are stacked up eight feet tall on repurposed fitting shelves salvaged from a local machine shop. Wardell's impressive wine list reflects his years of experience as one of San Francisco’s top Italian-wine sommeliers, showcasing wines from all over Italy, France, and “any country that touches the Mediterranean Sea.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the “porn room,” (the staff’s affectionate name for the rare & exotic wine room) the rules are not so strict. A repurposed barn door is counterweighted to slide upward on pulleys, leading the oenophile into a naturally-insulated space made from vintage sliding-glass doors. Ninety percent of the wines are sold at a relatively low cost (between $65-$120), a screaming deal for a wine geek who’s looking for an interesting bottle like a 1982 Casetta \"Vigna Ausario\" Barbaresco with some bottle age on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proprietors’ enthusiasm for community, groovy art, and eclectic wines is expressed in every aspect of Bergamot Alley, from the collaborative efforts put into the funky interior design, the menu offering tastings from their well-known chef friends, and the hugs at the door from a local hostess who seems to know everyone who walks through the door—or will by the time you leave. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/pornroom560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/pornroom560.jpg\" alt=\"Porn Room.

A long hug. Let me backtrack. I’m from Healdsburg, a fifth-generation rarity who moved to San Francisco almost 10 years ago and only travels back home sporadically. Every time I do, though, I find that another friend, or pair of friends, or group of friends, has opened up or is planning on opening up a cool new spot in my hometown. Bergamot Alley is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brainchild of Kevin Wardell, formerly a sommelier at \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a>, and his partner Sarah Johnson, Bergamot Alley looks like it was born of a machine shop and an artistic city-slicker. The lofty space on Healdsburg Avenue was formerly a jumbled antiques mall filled with woodstoves and tractor parts, and the original brick walls have been carefully exposed. The 17-foot ceilings are finished in their original tin from 1896. Because the building is one of Healdsburg’s oldest, Wardell says, it has a certain landmark status that inspired the décor. In the walls: a wooden brick here, a tin patch there, small iron bars jutting out at random angles. The “wallscape” somehow works together, with a collection of air gardens climbing the bricks and vending-machine bouncing balls shoved onto the ends of the iron bars to turn them into functional coat and purse racks. A plaster wall that divides Bergamot Alley from its next-door-neighbor sports decals by Telluride, CO-based artist Nathan Frerichs, the whimsical squid and octopus looking as at home here in the Dry Creek Valley as they would on a T-shirt sold on Haight Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\" alt=\"owners: Sarah Johnson and Kevin Wardell.

Photo: Kena Frank\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bergamot Alley is intended to be a “bar without a bar,” says Wardell. “There’s no division between the customer and the people who work here,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We wanted to have a space that really felt like a community room, where the flow of the people and the energy is uninterrupted by a bar.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Large, community-style tables that can fit up to 10 people are hand-welded with kick-plates made from WWII-era hot-dog bun baking trays. The chairs are from elementary schools, with taller legs welded to them to elevate the drinker to barstool height. The vibe: all-encompassing and welcoming. Whether you’re a local, a tourist, or a “new local” with a chateau out in the valley and perfectly mucked designer Wellingtons, you’ll feel at home here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yet that's what Bergamot Alley does! But because of Wardell and Johnson's deep respect for, and involvement in, the local community, their decision to focus on interesting foreign wines is a welcome breath of fresh air through the old-growth Zinfandel vines--not an affront. Aside from an entirely Mediterranean wine list that offers a large selection by the glass, there's a wide selection of microbrewed beers, the Alley's concession to keeping the locavores happy. All draft beers are local, and a medical refrigerator full of eclectic American 750’s and Bombers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.allagash.com/beer/year-round/curieux\">Allagash Curieux\u003c/a> (Portland, ME), \u003ca href=\"http://northcoastbrewing.com/beer-brotherThelonious.htm\">Brother Thelonious\u003c/a> (Fort Bragg, CA), and \u003ca href=\"http://www.lagunitas.com/beers/\">Lagunitas\u003c/a>’ Cappuccino Stout (Petaluma, CA) is designed to be self-serve. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customers are encouraged to grab their own beers as servers bring around stacks of glasses, contributing to the general picnicking atmosphere. Completing the picnic vibe will be a snacking menu, due to debut on March 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the best chefs in town, all friends of Wardell, will be contributing to Bergamot Alley’s menu. Expect offerings from the owners of \u003ca href=\"http://zazurestaurant.com/\">Zazu\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scopahealdsburg.com/\">Scopa\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.diavolapizzeria.com/\">Diavola\u003c/a> on the “jars and tins,” menu, which will feature items easily shared amongst friends at one of the Alley’s long tables or taken to go with a bottle of semi-sparkling Provenza “Turbiano” Rosato Groppello and enjoyed outdoors at one of the many surrounding wineries’ picnic areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/porndoor300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/porndoor300.jpg\" alt=\"Porn Door. Photo: Kena Frank\" title=\"Porn Door. Photo: Kena Frank\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-38950\">\u003c/a>The menu will include handmade pickles, pates, rillettes, cheeses, local flatbread crackers, and sweets, as well as imported Mediterranean items like olives and boquerones. The grab-and-go (or grab-and-stay!) menu is designed to be paired with the wines, all of which can be purchased by the bottle and taken with you. Bottles are stacked up eight feet tall on repurposed fitting shelves salvaged from a local machine shop. Wardell's impressive wine list reflects his years of experience as one of San Francisco’s top Italian-wine sommeliers, showcasing wines from all over Italy, France, and “any country that touches the Mediterranean Sea.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the “porn room,” (the staff’s affectionate name for the rare & exotic wine room) the rules are not so strict. A repurposed barn door is counterweighted to slide upward on pulleys, leading the oenophile into a naturally-insulated space made from vintage sliding-glass doors. Ninety percent of the wines are sold at a relatively low cost (between $65-$120), a screaming deal for a wine geek who’s looking for an interesting bottle like a 1982 Casetta \"Vigna Ausario\" Barbaresco with some bottle age on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proprietors’ enthusiasm for community, groovy art, and eclectic wines is expressed in every aspect of Bergamot Alley, from the collaborative efforts put into the funky interior design, the menu offering tastings from their well-known chef friends, and the hugs at the door from a local hostess who seems to know everyone who walks through the door—or will by the time you leave. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/pornroom560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/pornroom560.jpg\" alt=\"Porn Room.

The small selection is a testament to the tastiness of the pastries (on a foggy Thursday morning there were only a few pastries left by 10:15am): large, fresh pecans stud the glistening top of a caramelized sticky roll, and the slightly uneven texture of the croissants promises a hand-rolled, fresh-baked taste that doesn’t disappoint. Owner Harmony Fraga, East Bay native and former bar manager of \u003ca href=\"http://www.farmerbrownsf.com/\">Farmer Brown\u003c/a>, plans to bring in a larger selection of pastries soon, but until she finds the perfect combination (great taste, made in San Francisco, preferably in her neighborhood, with fresh, local ingredients) The Social Study is baking their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/globe-books-pastry.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/globe-books-pastry.jpg\" alt=\"Globe, books, pastry inside The Social Study\" title=\"Globe, books, pastry inside The Social Study\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38553\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not all coffee and pastries at The Social Study. Like any good European-influenced café, the place gets livelier as the day wears on. Beer, wine, and house-made sangria replace morning beverages, and the menu gets an upgrade starting in the afternoon. “Study Snacks” like charcuterie and cheese boards go great with a draught Guinness, and roasted fingerling potatoes are a healthy (and local!) alternative to the fast food French fries available a little bit lower down Fillmore street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/study-snacks1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/study-snacks1.jpg\" alt=\"Study Snacks.

From jazz to R&B to hip-hop and Motown, the record library is as varied as its library counterpart, and the music in the café does a great job of matching the ever-shifting mood of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/records-player.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/records-player.jpg\" alt=\"Record player and records\" title=\"Record player and records\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38556\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pace picks up even more on Friday nights, when live music takes the place of the vinyl selection and DJ Doc Fu steps behind the turntables. More music is promised, too--there’s been talk of a live house band (called Hot Pocket) playing in the lofted area above the main floor on Saturday nights. Although The Social Study doesn’t have a full liquor license (though Fraga says that’s in the works, along with a regular movie-screening night), I think it’s kind of nice. A beer and wine bar is a mellow addition to what can be a rowdy part of town, and when you want to step out for a cozy bite in a place that feels like an extension of your own living room (and face it, who can afford a place with an actual living room near Fillmore street?), The Social Study is just the place to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Social-Study/240060369372071\">The Social Study\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nAddress: \u003ca href=\"http://g.co/maps/uuf37\">Map\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1795 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94115\u003cbr>\n415.292.7417\u003cbr>\nOpen daily, 8am-11pm. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Owner Harmony Fraga, East Bay native and former bar manager of \u003ca href=\"http://www.farmerbrownsf.com/\">Farmer Brown\u003c/a>, plans to bring in a larger selection of pastries soon, but until she finds the perfect combination (great taste, made in San Francisco, preferably in her neighborhood, with fresh, local ingredients) The Social Study is baking their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/globe-books-pastry.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/globe-books-pastry.jpg\" alt=\"Globe, books, pastry inside The Social Study\" title=\"Globe, books, pastry inside The Social Study\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38553\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not all coffee and pastries at The Social Study. Like any good European-influenced café, the place gets livelier as the day wears on. Beer, wine, and house-made sangria replace morning beverages, and the menu gets an upgrade starting in the afternoon. “Study Snacks” like charcuterie and cheese boards go great with a draught Guinness, and roasted fingerling potatoes are a healthy (and local!) alternative to the fast food French fries available a little bit lower down Fillmore street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/study-snacks1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/study-snacks1.jpg\" alt=\"Study Snacks.

From jazz to R&B to hip-hop and Motown, the record library is as varied as its library counterpart, and the music in the café does a great job of matching the ever-shifting mood of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/records-player.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/records-player.jpg\" alt=\"Record player and records\" title=\"Record player and records\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38556\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pace picks up even more on Friday nights, when live music takes the place of the vinyl selection and DJ Doc Fu steps behind the turntables. More music is promised, too--there’s been talk of a live house band (called Hot Pocket) playing in the lofted area above the main floor on Saturday nights. Although The Social Study doesn’t have a full liquor license (though Fraga says that’s in the works, along with a regular movie-screening night), I think it’s kind of nice. A beer and wine bar is a mellow addition to what can be a rowdy part of town, and when you want to step out for a cozy bite in a place that feels like an extension of your own living room (and face it, who can afford a place with an actual living room near Fillmore street?), The Social Study is just the place to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Social-Study/240060369372071\">The Social Study\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nAddress: \u003ca href=\"http://g.co/maps/uuf37\">Map\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1795 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94115\u003cbr>\n415.292.7417\u003cbr>\nOpen daily, 8am-11pm. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
