It’s Olio Nuovo season—and if you know, you know. Join us at Great Bear Vineyards to celebrate this just-pressed, ultra-fresh olive oil at its most vibrant and delicious.
Our Olio Nuovo is bold, grassy, and beautifully alive—glowing green with aromas of fresh-cut herbs, artichoke, and green almond. On the palate it’s silky yet peppery, with that signature gentle bite that lingers (hello antioxidants 👋). This is olive oil at peak freshness: expressive, nourishing, and meant to be enjoyed right now.
Your Olive & Cheese Box is thoughtfully curated to let the oil shine:
Marin French Cheese Company Round – creamy, soft, and lightly tangy
Rustic bread for generous dipping
Sweet apricots & fig jam to balance the oil’s lively edge
Simple. Communal. Utterly satisfying.
Pair it with a glass of Great Bear wine, grab a sunny spot, and savor Olio Nuovo the way it’s meant to be experienced—fresh, expressive, and shared at the table. A delicious way to slow down and taste the season 🫒✨

Author Talk: Sasha Abramsky
2026-01-10 18:30 - 19:30 | The Avid Reader Bookstore, 617 2nd St., Davis, 95616
About the Book
A gripping narrative of federal workers caught in Trump’s second-term purge, and the devastating consequences for American democracy.
American Carnage follows eleven federal workers, in eight government agencies, from the time they were told they were fired in the early weeks of Donald Trump’s second presidential administration through to the summer of 2025. With Trump having empowered the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, and his Department of Government Efficiency, to make dramatic cuts to many of the country’s most important agencies, what unfolded in these months was a cascading tragedy of historic proportions.
Their stories, which show a country in a profound moment of crisis and dislocation, are America’s stories. What happened to them—the bullying, the intimidation, the deliberate removal of financial stability—also happened to hundreds of thousands of other employees. A fierce reckoning with the intimate and far-reaching effects of these layoffs, both on the individuals who lost their jobs and on the millions of Americans who found their access to basic government services curtailed, American Carnage is the first book-length account of how these cuts dulled and denuded our city on the hill, leaving a morally impoverished landscape in their wake.
