is hand-produced; corked and hand-sealed in an elegant, cobalt-blue, long-necked, classicbottle. Hints of West Coast 60’s, untamed SoCal, surfing, sun, hippy freedom, thelanguid beach life, with further flashes-back to the 30’s, of cabin-crafted wood and thehand-riveted, aluminum gleam of the Pan Am Clipper lifting out over San Francisco Bay,the famous flying boat underway to exotic South Pacific islands.
