Japan’s Favorite Boutique Winery in Berkeley Throws a Japanese Pop-Up Party

Broc Cellars didn’t necessarily set out to become one of Japan’s favorite Bay Area wineries. But in 2018, a surprise appearance in the popular wine manga The Drops of God propelled the tiny, Berkeley-based natural winemaker to newfound celebrity status. Soon, Japanese oenophiles were buying up almost as many bottles of Broc’s Vine Starr Zinfandel, the specific wine featured in the manga, as the winery could produce. Today, Broc sells merch with the phrase “Got Grapes?” written in Japanese katakana characters. And travelers from Japan routinely make a special pilgrimage to the winery’s West Berkeley tasting room, eagerly snapping photos and, of course, buying a bottle or two at the source.

The best surf shops in the Bay Area, according to a panel of pros

If you’re out for a walk on Ocean Beach, you’re likely to see surfers running by in wetsuits, tempted into braving the cold Pacific by the irresistible waves. The sandy western coastline is popular with experienced surfers who can handle the powerful waves and strong currents. Not far up or down the coast, Pacifica, Bolinas, or Stinson offer manageable waves for beginners. But pro surfer Bianca Valenti recommends taking a lesson before diving in anywhere around San Francisco. “Getting a lesson is the safest way to do it, because surfing is one of the most challenging and dynamic sports in the world,” Valenti says.
