"The El Cerrito community welcomed this new wine bar with open arms, but it’s attracted a crowd beyond the modest city’s borders. Expect wines from France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and South Africa, skewing toward sustainable, organic, biodynamically produced wines from smaller wineries. Banter offers bites during the week, but they also collaborate with exciting pop-ups such as Chino Latino pop-up Tacos Sincero and more." - Dianne de Guzman, Matt Lardie
