Scott Beattie, a third generation San Franciscan, maintains a 40-page, meticulously annotated cocktail and spirits list at the renowned restaurant Cyrus in Sonoma County. Some of the herbs for this drink come from La Bonne Terre, a tiny farm run by Bert and Mary Villemaire about a quarter mile from Beattie's house on the Russian River.
