San Francisco food and wine expert, Paul Einbund is winemaker and owner of Sean Wines and now The Morris in San Francisco. Check out our visit to The Morris here. We wanted to find out more about Paul, so we asked him some questions to get to know more about him and find out some of his favorite spots in San Francisco.
Where were you born? Summit, New Jersey.
Coffee or Tea? Both and I can go into great detail on specifics! But if it is between crappy coffee and crappy tea bags, I’d choose water…unless the water is gross then I’d do beer, even for breakfast.
Cream or Sugar? Neither….unless I somehow got roped into mediocre tea, in which case both.
Favorite Cocktail? Erik Adkins Mai Tai or Thad Vogler’s Old Fashioned
What do you usually eat for breakfast? Tartine bread with French butter and June Taylor jam and really good farm eggs.

Again, way too many to have just one – black rice at Il Farro in Cadiz, Spain; baby clams at Cal Pep Spain; Pitthiviere at Clown Bar Paris; razor clams at La Grenouillere in Normandy; fruit de mers at Olivier Roellenger in Brittany; chicken drippings with bread at Lummi Island.
