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.
