Denim Slingback Sneaker
This odd hybrid shoe pairs the rubber-cap sneaker of childhood with a flirty slingback heel, a combo that frankly has “bad idea” written all over it. But in person, and in practice (I just bought a pair of these for myself!), it is just so stinking cute and comfortable. PS: Payless is high on drugs: the heel is 2.5”, not 3.5”.

Apple-ation Apple Brandy
God bless a vintner with a pet project. Guy Davis decided to take advantage of the organic apple orchards in the Russian River Valley to make small batch apple brandy. Davis eschews the usual practice of fermenting just the apple juice; however, he leaves the peels and fruit in during fermentation for a deeper apple flavor. The results are spectacular.
$35 at Davis Family Vineyards
