St. George Spirits (Hangar One) is having an open house this Saturday at their Alameda distillery. In addition to specialty liquors, the event will feature Fatted Calf grilling sausages, Recchiuti Confections, June Taylor Organic Preserves and Shellmound Oysters. Sounds like a solid lineup of quality chow. Link: http://www.hangarone.com/index.html Thu Nov 10 01:39:27 -0800 2005 0 Morton the Mousse 1 198043 Great tip Morton. Do you have specifics ... time ... price. The website doesn't seem to mention it. I think their normal tasting is $10.
