That's the question posed by 7x7's Sara Deseran, and thank God she did. Swimming in a sea of artisan hooch concoctions, Deseran points our attention to the old-fashion bartenders -- specifically, bartender Scott Wolf, her Sam Malone in a sea of infusions and muddling. more ›

Made from a secret recipe of over 40 herbs and spices, San Francisco has a special place in its heart for Fernet-Branca. (Fun fact: 35 percent of Fernet-Branca in the US is consumed right here in SF.
