A couple of East Bay Events coming up:
This Friday, NovoMetro is celebrating the launch of their new print magazine OakBook at Esteban Sabar Gallery. The party coincides with the Oakland Art Murmur, and I'll be there pouring local wines from Lost Canyon. Details here.
And speaking of local booze, Alameda's Hangar One/St. George Spirits have just announced the upcoming release of their new Absinthe Verte on December 21. This is the first domestically-produced absinthe since it was banned in 1912. At $75 a pop, it's certainly not cheap, but it's sure to be delish, if you're into that whole black licorice thing. Helpfully, Hangar One is offering a free shuttle to their tasting room from West Oakland BART every weekend in December. From noon until six on Saturdays, or noon to five on Sundays, give them a call at 510-864-0635 for a pick-up.
