Shopping and wine? Yes please. Blended Industries on Prospect Street is a clothing store and wine bar in one — a perfect pairing by winemaker Jesse Kovacs of The Bachelorette fame and his girlfriend, personal stylist Summer Albertsen of Summer Elizabeth boutique. Albertsen explains, “My male clients used to joke and say, ‘Summer, if you had a TV and glass of wine, I would wait for my wife to shop all day!’" That glass of wine is now available from Kovacs Brothers Wine, along with a hand-picked selection of others showcasing Monterey County. Featured designers for women include Parker, Henry & Belle, and Azzurra Capri handmade sandals; and for the fellas: Hudson, The Original Penguin, and Howe & Rufus. RSVP for their grand re-opening celebration on Friday, August 24, from 6-8pm. (858/255-8205, summer@summerelizabeth.com) MIA STEFANKO
