DIGITAL UNDERGROUND
Wireless Wine List at Barbacco
The future of wine lists is here, and it's on the iPad. Barbacco's entire 105-bottle list is housed on each
of 20 iPads, where you can browse, research producers, regions and varietals—all without conversing with a
soul (except for your date, of course). Note: the iPad is not able to consume the wine for you yet.

SALE-ING
Summer Party at Cary Lane
Given that the official calendar start to summer is this weekend, a summer party should be in your very near
future. Of course, in SF, you'll have to settle for a chilly night, but gratis beer, wine, apps and 30% off
everything from vintage stock and new gear like Hyden Yoo should help. Even if just a little...

Guns & Shades Pop-Up at Mayfourteenth
While you'll want to check out Mayfourteenth, a new vintage-inspired eyewear collection—as well as the
ample supply of dead stock vintage frames from Cazal and Gucci—we think the half-dozen 24K-gold-plated

PIECE OF THE PUZZLE
Tetris Tournament II at the Lab
This Saturday, the gallery turns into an arcade devoted to the Soviet Mind Game from the '80s. After a few
beers, sign up karaoke-style for a chance to show off your puzzle acumen on one of two jumbotrons. And yes,
if you're the last left standing, you'll get a trophy, but you're there for the satisfaction...

BOXING DAY
Pig Roast and Mai Tais at PSC
This weekend, the good people at the Presidio Social Club will be kicking off their summer Sunday roasts by
grilling up a whole pig in a Caja China (fancy for a wooden box). Since it's also Father's Day,
expect gratis pork sliders and happy hour specials on mai tais and beer. Dad loves mai tais.

STEVE-O Mountain Winery Pairs Food, Wine and Steve Martin Wine pairings are old hat. Unless, of course, the wine is paired with Steve Martin. The Mountain Winery in Saratoga is bringing in Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, which, despite the hilarious moniker, is an actual bluegrass band that wouldn't dare attempt to say something funny... So don't request The King Tut. |
