Sparkling wine – Hog Island Oyster Bar

Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine Hog Island Oyster Bar

Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Blanc Brut, Napa, 2006. $8 per glass
Hog Island Oyster Bar, San Francisco

I love weekend brunch at the San Francisco Ferry Building. I know that it’s super touristy but there’s a lot of great food there too. You just have to ignore the crowds and enjoy the food. On a bright, sunny day it’s hard not to enjoy yourself.

Had a light brunch here with Silverfox. We really only had this sparkling wine, bread and oysters but that seemed to satisfy us! I’ve always liked Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine. I’ve been to their Napa winery a couple times and it’s absolutely beautiful. Their sparkling wines are reasonable priced and are delicious!

I think I like the chicken empanada better, but this was also tasty! I somehow liked the powdered sugar on top. It was a nice flavor contrast to the ground beef and olives inside the empanada. I need to learn how to make their super buttery, flaky empanada crust! It’s SO good!
