MARKET SPOTLIGHT
Gravitude
Ned Lawton started Ethic Ciders in Sebastopol in 2015 with his wife Michelle. They purchased an old apple orchard that, though in bad shape, produced some of the most flavorful dry farmed apples they’d tasted. The Lawton’s invested in the orchard, using regenerative farming techniques, and expanding to a certified organic facility in 2017. Last year Ethic won the prestigious Good Food Awards for their Golden Rule blend. Tip: keep an eye out for Scarlet, their blackberry infused rosé cider — it is in very limited release and perfect for your holiday table.
Hidden Gem
Driver’s deli is the unofficial Marin outpost of Bini’s Kitchen, making us a foodie destination to those in the know. Binita Pradhan launched Bini’s Kitchen through the food incubator La Cocina in 2012, steadily amassing fans of her Nepalese cooking, and opening a kiosk in San Francisco in 2015. She recently added a sit down lunch spot, and her star keeps rising. Our deli proudly serves Bini’s Gurkha Chicken, Palungo Saag, Daal and Baigun Bharta — hot and so delicious! Tip: order the Combo Plate — it comes with brown rice, yogurt, jalapeno and na’an.

Holiday Wine Tasting
Lelarge-Pugeot Champagnes
Thursday, December 19 @ 6:30 pm. 21 years +
Winemakers since 1799, the Lelarge family acquired their first vineyards after Pierre-Henri Lelarge married Madeleine Dravigny, the daughter of a winegrower in Vrigny, France. Throughout many generations, the descendants of Pierre-Henri shared their commitment to the terroir of Champagne and the work of vigneron (winegrowers).
Clémence Lelarge will be pouring organic Champagnes from her family’s vineyard. Don’t miss out on these bubbles!
We are incredibly passionate about two very important things: people and food.
It is our goal to offer foods that you can trace back to the people that grew and produced them.
