"When I turned up at the latest pop-up at Broc Cellars, I bit into Walker Stern’s Spanish tortilla and immediately realized how long I’ve been missing out. The potatoes had a soft bite, the eggs filled every crevice and were perfectly cooked—not rubbery or overdone—and buttons of chanterelle mushrooms punctuated each slice, making for a light, satisfying Sunday lunch I’ll be thinking about for a while. It shouldn’t be a surprise—Stern helped relaunch French-omelet-famous Verjus—but it’s a joy to see his own cooking out in the wild, with partner Devon Nevola running a smooth front of house, and I’ll be scouring menus and waiting for the next Here Before event." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This year’s Broctacular wine party at a major Berkeley natural-wine winery is on Sunday, July 27. The innovative natural-wine enthusiasts are throwing a Luau with live hula performance and Hawaiian music, more than 20 wines to try, and Japanese taiko drumming. Food comes from a suite of local purveyors including Hog Island Oyster Co., Yami Yami, Tita Ammy’s Lumpia, and more. Tickets start at $36 and are on sale now." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Supplying wine to the hall, Broc Cellars is part of Saluhall’s curated beverage lineup and offers wine selections that complement the food stalls and bars." - Paolo Bicchieri
"At 1300 Fifth Street, Bar Broc will host Fox Hill specialty wines on February 15 and 16, then a ticketed Sunday party with food and music on February 18." - Paolo Bicchieri
"An early adopter of natural wine in the Bay Area, originally making light, fruity wines since 2004; the Sparkling Chenin shows a straw-yellow hue with zippy citrus flavors like kumquat and is offered at a refreshingly low price, though magnum quantities are limited and may only be available intermittently." - Becky Duffett
