Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working through a box of wine in my refrigerator. It’s been a joy. Turning the spigot on the bag-in-box makes me feel like I’m a college student again, pouring myself a cupful of Franzia at a house party — only this time, I have replaced the red Solo cup with real glassware, and the wine in my fridge is about one thousand times better than Franzia.

When people talk about white wines from Burgundy, it’s assumed that they’re talking about Chardonnay, the French region’s signature white grape variety. But there’s a second, lesser-known and lesser-grown white grape in Burgundy, called Aligote. It may be the wine world’s most beautiful afterthought.

Steven Spurrier, who died Tuesday morning at age 79, was an unlikely champion for California wines. In 1976, the British wine merchant was running a shop in Paris that specialized in the great wines of France — Burgundy, Bordeaux — when he visited Napa Valley, at the time considered a podunk farming town.

From the Gold Rush days to almost the turn of the 20th century, the weirdest bar in San Francisco, if not the world, was in a dilapidated building on the waterfront in North Beach. It was known as Abe Warner’s Cobweb Palace, and its like will never be seen again.

Youngwon Lee has brewed beers with Szechuan peppercorns, gochugaru chiles, omija berries and lemongrass. He’s made sour beer using the bacterial culture from kimchi. Lee’s latest experiment involved brewing with oyster sauce, though he ultimately had to dump it down the drain. “We used too much. It came out way too salty,” he says.

Maybe it was the seaweed on the label. Maybe it was the fact that the bottle was nearly ice-cold. Whatever it was, when I took a sip of the Assiduous Wines 2019 Pinot Gris, from Santa Cruz County, I felt jolted awake, invigorated, as if I’d suddenly been pounded by a current of cool, briny ocean air.
