A fresh take on Turkish cuisine takes root in West Berkeley
Divan, a new Turkish restaurant in West Berkeley, delivers on some of the cuisine’s greatest hits: pides (“Turkish pizza”), pomegranates and pistachios, plus the passion for grilled meats and eggplant, Turkey’s most beloved vegetable. But, Divan does it in a sleek, contemporary, spacious room with a full bar, without the museum-like displays of ceramics and rugs other Turkish restaurants in the Bay Area often lean on for decor.

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.

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.
