Buddy, Natural Wine Bar in the Mission

[edenman]

Wine bar in the old Californios space at 22nd/SouthVanNess.  Went here as part of our "see all our friends" visit a couple weeks ago.  The wine list is way too heavy on the funk for my tastes these days but we drank two of their non-funky bottles, a lovely Chenin from Margins in Santa Cruz and a semi-carbonic Zin blend from Broc.  Food was great: stonefruit and early girl tomatoes, gougeres with trout roe and labneh, fried mortadella sandwich, and the highlight: a grilled king trumpet mushroom with truffle honey, feta, and a walnut salsa macha.  Say it with me now: walnut salsa macha.  Bonkers good, like a sichuan chili crisp but Cal-Mexican flavor profile.
