Next week at College Ave on May 14th: We’re teaming up with Oakland-based artist Lisa Solomon and Berkeley publisher Hardie Grant for a night of wine and crafts.

We’re celebrating Lisa’s new book (which we will also have for sale), Art, Craft, Color, a collection of projects that leans into making things that are thoughtful, a little imperfect, and actually enjoyable to do. She’s also spent plenty of time leading workshops, so you’re in good hands.

We’re starting with something simple and useful: wine charms. You’ll shape your own set from clay, add the hardware, and walk away with something useful.

No experience needed.

Clay needs a little time to dry before final assembly, so you’ll either finish your charms at the end or take them home to wrap up. Easy either way.

What you get:

• All materials (clay + hardware)

• Guidance from Lisa throughout

• A full lineup of wines to taste

Come make something, have some wine, and leave with something you’ll actually use. Tickets in our bio! ✨

Juan Antonio Ponce began his winery in 2005 at the age of 23 (!), farming biodynamically in the Spanish region of Manchuela, just inland from Valencia.

Friday, May 1st: May Day: Summer Favorites ☀️
May Day, or Floralia, or Maiuma: whatever you want to call it, we're here for any celebration of the start of summer! There's something especially satisfying about sharing a bottle this time of year, in the warm lavender glow of a summer evening; somehow, the flavors just seem to sing louder. It's a season for crisp rosé, gleeful, gluggable bubbles, and our much beloved BBQ wines. Come taste our favorite new summer bottles, wines perfect for all of the park hangs and backyard gatherings that lay ahead.
