The…read moreSt. George is a tiny little beer and wine joint located in the criminally overlooked treasure that is the former mining town of Volcano. Dave, the owner is a magnificent host and and all around great guy. He welcomes everyone who comes through the door as though they are a decades-long regular. He has a bottomless wealth of stories to tell and is always ready to join in a good conversation. The menu is simple: a selection of about twenty well-curated bottles of beer, and a rotating selection of wines, most of which are made by Dave wearing his other hat as an award-winning maker of port-style and red wines. Dave says that he intends to put a small tapas menu together soon, but for now there is food available at the hotel next door. No matter, the limited menu is part of the attraction of the St. George Wine Room. The focus here is not on the vile pretensions of the wine snobs and foodies, but on time spent in a cozy place with an honest drink and the easy conviviality that a well run bar provides. Here, strangers are swapping life stories fifteen minutes after meeting and generally behaving as though meeting at a party hosted by a close mutual friend. There is a tiny stage that plays host to a variety of local acts from singer songwriters to small Latin combos a few nights a week, as well as serving as the arena for one of the most joyfully informal karaoke nights this side of a Filipino wedding. The night we were there, the solo guitarist playing covers at the restaurant around the corner was maybe going to show up. He didn't. Instead, the sons of one of Dave's friends came in and played a low key duet set of intimate guy-with-guitar songs and elegant improvisations, followed by a bout of joyous karaoke. The informality of the evening's entertainment only served to heighten the homey feeling. To be perfectly honest, I would rather not advertise that the St. George and Volcano exist at all. I'd hate to see this place devolve into an antique boutique cluttered little town like the nearby Sutter Creek. Charming as that city is, the simplicity and hideaway cosiness of Volcano and towns like it offer something different, and it's places like Dave's that are illustrative of this difference. But this place is too great to keep to myself, so do yourself a favor and stop in.

We took the day to stroll around Volcano yesterday & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We happened upon…read morethis little wine bar & went in to take a look - were told that a latin jazz band was playing later so we made a note to stop by. After frequenting the other local establishments I was ready to call it a day, or was that night, when the hubby said "I'm not done yet!" So back we went to the wine bar & am I glad we did! There was a duo playing guitar & harmonica & sounding nothing like latin jazz but we got ourselves a beer & settled in by the pot belly stove to hang out a bit. The latin band had not showed up so these guys just grabbed their instruments & entertained us all night! Later we sauntered outside where some had gathered & we were welcome like old friends. The front of the bar is like someone'e home patio - filled with seating & people stopping by to chat. We met the locals, the owner brought me a wonderful glass of port he had made, totally unbidden & we hung out for quite a long time, another beer, another glass of port...an unplanned day that turned out to be one we'll remember for a long time!

This is the on site bar at Bear Valley- menu features beers (try the Snow Shoe Hef), a handful of…read morewines, and specialty winter drinks. Service is somewhat limited in that no one ever came around to check on seated patrons (or clear tables) and occasionally the bar was left unmanned, but staff were fairly polite and quick when needed. There are only two small SD TVs in the whole area, high tops and four tops available for seating. The highlight is the great views out the window of the slopes. There's a small patio area for smokers, and you can bring in food from the adjacent snack bar. Prices are predictably hiked up, since it's both the only place to get a drink for about 20 miles and a resort/tourist area, expect $7-10/drink.

You pay up front, then you walk your order ticket across the way to the kitchen staff. After that we found a table outside. It was 91* degrees outside at 6:00 on a July day. In their covered outdoor seating (with fans) it was a decent 87*. Really wasn't bad at all, though there is indoor seating and a separate saloon area. Cash only pool tables are both indoors and outdoors. My husband had the California burrito which was quite large. He enjoyed the Spicy Sauce and had the Extra Hot Sauce on the side. He said the Extra Hot Sauce had some heat, but not much flavor. I had the bacon cheeseburger. It was well cooked and again, quite large. Everything was good, though I like big flavor and thought the burger could benefit from some seasoning or a sauce, but that's just me. Otherwise, a solid bacon cheeseburger. Overall, it was an enjoyable night.
