Mog Asu Wine Bar

After a career at Cavallo Point, Fedric D’Costa, a Level One-certified Sommelier, opened at Tiburon’s The Cove shopping center. “Mog asu,” or “let there be love” in the Goan Konkani patois of D’Costa’s roots, runs the internationally-focused wine bar with his wife/biz partner, Emily Lund. 

​

Fyrn chairs and tobacco-colored banquettes lean into teal wainscotting beneath printed wallpaper and gold-framed mirrors. Behind a small bar, D’Costa whips up spritzes, like a Bottlerocket with rosé, blood orange juice and botanicals. Lund’s design includes a curtain to separate the space into cozy nooks where couples can canoodle over Roderer Estate Brut and a plate of antipasto skewers or caviar with all the fixings, and ladies who lunch can gab over a Wolfer Estate Hibiscus Cider or mocktail and a house-tossed apple and white cheddar chop salad. 

​

The all-day vibes run from lunch to after-dinner, the perfect time for a glass of Disznoko Tokaji Late Harvest or Da Silva Colheita port. Though the couple plans flights and other tastings, for now, it’s by the glass or bottle for an expansive range of sake, wine, beer, vermouth and other beverages, with options for non-alcoholic wine, gluten-free and non-alcoholic beer, and even wine shots made from Mexican agave.
