Honing Your Calicraft
Califcraft is one of the most innovative producers in our region, and their Cali Coast (great with spicy foods), Buzzerkeley (wonderful with fried or sweet foods), Oak Town Brown (try it with braised meats), and City IPA (great with hors d’oeuvres) are food-friendly beers that are crafted with meals in mind.

The Shock of the New
Enjoy a little sparkle and bubble with New Age White. Very floral, refreshingly fun, and slightly sweet, New Age White is a white wine with a slight effervescence. Lower in alcohol than most wines, it’s a slightly spritzy blend of 90% torrontes and 10% sauvignon blanc.

Wowza! Wawona!
Try Wawona Frozen Organic Freestone Peaches not because our grocery manager went to high school next to the orchards, but because Wawona (a family owned company for more than 50 years) is committed to delivering the very best fresh-frozen fruit products around. Farmed out of California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley, these organic gems are a natural when added to smoothies or topped with fresh whipped cream.

Mate for LIfe
Organic and refreshing, Yerba Mate provides that little boost of energy.

Pluot Twist
Part plum, part apricot, Wild River Farm's amazing pluots are delicious and juicy. A natural cross that’s 75% plum and 25% apricot, pluots come in more than two dozen varieties (we particularly love the Dapple Fire and the Flavor Grenade) and they’re absolutely delicious and juicy.

Cold on a Stick
Break the mold at your next shindig with frozen treats that you make yourself using pop molds from Tovolo. Choose from classic mold styles like Groovy Pop, Twin Pop, and Star Pop, and you’ve got a fun, homemade frosty treat.
