"The innovative Oakland wine bar and restaurant is set to close on Monday, March 31; the San Francisco Chronicle reports a combination of rent pressures, three of Oakland’s sports teams leaving, and the "corruption that occurred in Oakland" were chief among the reasons chef-partner Robert Lam decided to wind down the operation." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Up in the hills of Oakland’s Montclair Village neighborhood, Perle Wine Bar leans heavily on some of the most well-known wine regions in France and California for the bulk of a wine menu that complements its French-influenced food. Wines are available by the glass and bottle, with some high-end bottles ready and available in case you want a unique wine option." - Dianne de Guzman
"This venue is famous for exciting food and stylish clientele, offering handhelds and fries during the festival." - Lauren Saria
"Perle is an Oakland wine bar, yes, but with an extensive French menu attached. Still, the “pearl” portion of the menu is worthy of a pairing with the spot’s many wines; there are the half-dozen raw oysters; the oysters supreme with uni, two types of caviar, and ponzu; oyster shooters; and fried oyster deviled eggs, with roe, Calabrian pepper, and caper relish to amuse your bouche." - Dianne de Guzman
"The Montclair wine bar is offering takeout full meals portioned for one or a family of four and a pickup-only permanent happy hour special of two burgers and a bottle of red for $36 (call 510-808-7767 or order online; Tue–Sun 4–7 p.m.)." - Luke Tsai
