"Claire Sullivan, along with her fiancé Devin Hohler, is opening Banter Wine, a wine bar-slash-bottle shop in El Cerrito. The bar aims to offer a casual space for locals to enjoy a glass of wine and charcuterie plate. Banter Wine will feature a mix of domestic and European wines, with a focus on smaller purveyors. The food menu will include charcuterie, cheese, tinned fish, olives, housemade pickles, and rotating sandwiches and salads. This is Sullivan's first business venture, and the community has been patient despite delays in opening." - Dianne de Guzman
