Real men care about the way they look and how they spend their money. Man Up. aims to improve both. There’s nothing manly about looking like a slob. Man Up. is hosted by the Durable Goods Concern—four guys who enjoy well-crafted, fine-looking products that last. They also like to drink.

They will be pouring on Saturday afternoon at the event.</p> <p>Three years ago they started the Scribe Winery Project with the purchase of a disused plot of land two miles east of Sonoma square.  In reviving the property, they uncovered a rich history, dating to the 1850s, when the pioneering Dresel brothers coaxed this land into a renowned vineyard and winery.  They were leading viticulturalists and outspoken proponents of the cultural importance of wine, food, and agricultural.  Like the Dresels before them, they make wines rooted in European tradition while searching for a distinct, terroir-driven California flavor.  It is with reverence for the Dresels’ stewardship and ambition, and with a commitment to sustainability, that they begin the next chapter of this land’s story.</p>http://sfmanup.com/post/354965832http://sfmanup.com/post/354965832Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:35:17 -0800<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwvl7mhv9u1qaeiwko1_250.gif"/><br/><br/><p>Lorraine at 7x7 Magazine wrote us up today in their glamwatch.
