History

Established in 2010.

Inspired by her great-​aunt Mona’s 1940’s North Beach ‘Mona’s Club 440,’ and a love of bringing people together, Beth realized her dream of opening A Grape in the Fog in April 2010.

«From my early 20s I wanted to open a kind of place that would create community,» Beth says. «I was also inspired by my great aunt Mona Nystrom-​Hood, who ran a wine and beer joint in North Beach in the 1930s and ‘40s. She was a bon vivant who lived life to the fullest, was beloved by the community, and loved her community back. I felt a calling to create a space that would both support and nurture the sense of community you feel in our small town – where you can get out of the house or away from work, meet with friends, relax and maybe try a new wine.»
