Once again, and seemingly so swiftly, we near the close of another year. This Saturday the Sun will align with the Southern Tropic and, with little time aloft, will trace a shallow arc to the ocean, dropping from view beside the great redwood of 40th and Webster Streets, and we will know we’ve reached the depth of winter. And once again, the shop is full of wine and chocolate, cheese and paté, tinned fish and mulled wine kits, beer, Port, Sequoia Sake gift boxes, and holiday cheer, bursting with goods to enliven your end of year festivities.

Drop in this week for a glass while you shop, or a relaxing flight with an old friend. We’ve enjoyed a steady stream of friendly faces this holiday season - regulars with visiting relatives, returning Oaklanders demonstrating their own nativity, dropping in for a bottle to share with family, and I’m looking forward to many more of these happy reunions as the year comes to a close. Thanks so much for all of your support! Oakland Yard will OPEN EARLY this Monday 12/23 from NOON to 9pm ... and OPEN this Tuesday, Christmas Eve from 11 to 6pm to satisfy your outstanding needs for gifts and wine!
