The Berkeley Wine Festival kicks off this weekend with a Grand Opening Reception. I was invited last year and had a great time tasting wine and bites from local chefs including Sean Baker (Gather), Amy Murray and Travis McConnell (Revival Kitchen & Venus), Rick DeBeaord (Cafe Rouge), Paul Arenstam (Summer Kitchen), Kyle Anderson (Slow), Yang Peng (Wood Tavern), Akira Komine (Kirala) and Morgwa Preston-Jones (Southie). This year, Scott Quinn, the new chef at The Meritage at the Claremont, will be there along with other Berkeley chefs and more than 45 wines to sample. There will also be a free shuttle from the Rockridge BART station for commuters. The festival continues with a brunch the next day and weekly wine dinners through May.
