Food, Wine and Entertainment
This is a nice little spot for some relaxing fun that's just 7.6 miles away. Have a glass of wine or beer, some great food and live music out in a country farm. If you decide to head out to ApCal you may need to bring some chairs (it's that country), just ask me and I can accommodate you a couple folding lawn chairs. (8.8 miles = 16 minutes away)
