SLANTED DOOR
Erik Adkins is the best bartender in San Francisco, maybe the country. You need to sit at his bar at Slanted Door. He is a great technician as well as a historian but, most importantly, he is sincere and gracious.

SMUGGLER’S COVE
No other bar has such a clear and well-articulated concept. Those guys are really passionate and focused. Try anything on that list. It is such a thoughtful and well developed list.

TOSCA CAFE
Tosca has always been a favorite. It's just such a beautiful and timeless space. I hope it never changes. The opera on the jukebox and the beautifully aged surfaces and the long, beautiful bar from a single piece of wood. It's a perfect interior. I wish I could run it.

CAMINO
The Drinks at Camino in Oakland are the most under-appreciated in the Bay Area. They use awesome ingredients and are refreshingly unpretentious solid drinks. Best food in the Bay, too. Perfect example of the cutting edge of the tradition Bar Agricole works to be a part of.

MARASCHINO
I am most excited about the maraschino that Todd Leopold has just released. Maraschino is a classic ingredient that shows up countless times in all the great old books. With this version of the cherry cordial, we finally see a dry aromatic version that you would be proud to serve straight as well as feature in a a mixed drink.

EL DORADO
El Dorado 3 year is perfect for all the great old recipes that call for a dry, cuban style rum.

SMITH & CROSS
Smith & Cross is an archetypal Jamaican rum and perfect in recipes that call for the same.

THE HAVANA CLUB ANEJO
The Havana Club Anejo will always be an emotional favorite because of its scarcity and also the time I lived in Cuba. It will always make me think of those beautiful cigars - especially the Montecristo #2.
