    My girlfriend is in Pasadena this week and has complained to me about lack of sours at the locations she's been to. Are there any bars/restaurants that generally have a good supply either on draft or in bottle or bottle shops that carry RR or any other local-ish sours?

    Vendome in Pasadena might have a few sours in stock.

    Tell her to check out the whole foods on arroyo parkway as they usually have some stuff or to check out 38 degrees on tap hunter as their tap list is usually current and sell bottles to go. RR sours in socal can be hit and miss so dont bank on them always being around.

    Russian River sours are hit and miss. Mission Spirits and Wine in Pasadena on Washington(?) had LA Framboise De Amarosa and Almanac Farmers Reserve #3 yesterday when I was there. Whole Foods on Foothill Blvd had LA Framboise De Amarosa also and another sour I can't remember the name of when I was there earlier today. Haven't seen any RR sours on shelves for a few weeks now.

    If she's looking for bottle shops that stock sours/generally have good ones that aren't quite in pasadena I can't recommend Bill's Liquor in Atwater or House of Spirits in Duarte enough. Love both stores. If she has access to a car/transportation, Valley Beverage in Sherman Oaks is also great for sours but a bit of a drive.

    Lucky Baldwins had their sour festival last week. I was in Saturday and they still had several.

    if she has a car, best bottle shop in the (general) area is probably Lone Hill Liquor in Glendora.
