    Me enjoying my wine against a backdrop of wine barrels and other people hanging out
    Ali O.

    If you want a vibey spot to get together with friends and drink great wine, this is it. I've been here once before and came today for an impromptu Sunday date. We lucked out with a live band and glasses of most bottles. We had the Anderson Valley Sparkling Pinot Noir, which was a treat. I also had a glass of the '19 Anderson Valley Chardonnay, which is freakin' delicious. We were being wine nerds and said we got a nose of manure--but like George Castanza says, the best kind ("ma" + "newer," whats not to love???). I really "stepped in it" by sharing our tasting notes with the Dave, the owner, but regardless, this wine is DELICIOUS. They also had live music (The Charles Wheal band) and they brought a wonderful energy to the space. Add the wine barrels, a wall of south facing windows for beautiful sunlight, and Dave's fun hospitality, and we couldn't ask for more. Best spontaneous Berkeley Sunday in a long time!! We're already planning our engagement party here and will definitely be back.

    Tasty, unique wines and a cute space! The winemaker was pouring for us and was also very friendly and pleasant. We'll definitely be back! I recommend popping in and doing a tasting if you're in the area.

    This is the best urban winery in the country! Dave rocks this place. The wine is literally made by one guy with one particular vision of wine and it is so "Bay area"! We love it. We will remain members forever

    The new kid on the block! Windchaser Wine opened up relatively recently, but the owner and wine maker I believe comes from neighbor, Donkey & Goat Winery. (Details are a bit hazy as this was the 3rd stop on a wino tour). This is more of a production facility in a warehouse with a small little tasting bar. No tables, no seats even. Definitely a bare bones operation, with the owner operating the tasting, and I like it: Old school, not pretentious and real authentic. This dude is trying to sell you bottles to enjoy, not a wine club membership...yet. The wines were really good with of course some being more enjoyed than others. I picked up a few bottles to waive the $15 tasting fee and left happy. A solid addition the the Berkeley wine scene and happy to go back and support this small operation.

    Energetic spot in an industrial area with great wine and a pretty good deal on a case of the same.

Our host was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable, and they made us feel so welcomed and taken care of the whole time. The wines were incredible, and they truly made this birthday celebration feel special. We'll definitely be back!

    Every day we think about how lucky we are to live in marina bay... it's becoming a foodie enclave…read morewith stunning bay views, the Sf ferry docking nearby the grand bay trail meandering along the shores, great "mild weather" it seems to always Hover between 65-75 In the day. Kayaks, yachts,bikes, wind surfing fishing and a a slew of casual fun and funky eateries cropping up. It's been a few years since Noel warmly welcomed us "neighbors" into his establishment, prior to officially opening. Through the ups n Downs of Covid and him finding his business legs, we've happily supported this spot, meeting his entire family in the process. Well he is still sweet and humble but.... Busy! I mean as in this organic wine thing is... a big THING! I hi knew??? Apparently Noel did! He's graduated from the curious neighbors and locals featuring his Purity wines, to coop with a dedicated following of passionate organic wine makers and their entourage of fans , Friends devotees; restauranteurs, and media moguls all centered around the notion of organic wines aka a cast of thousands! Damn grapes never had it so good. Case and point Point now following his Instagram account lead by his bike riding enthusiast protege, Tyler, the Study hosted a massive event last weekend. We didn't plan to attend but were curious and anxious to see if it was a success or a bust. The event By the way featured more than 20 wine makers, there was food fun music and when we drove by as nosy neighbors, we heard the music pumping. Wow the crowd was massive! Standing room only spilling onto the drive way and garage bay. Of course the crowd was typical Bay Area, ethnically diverse hip, smart and totally having a blast! You may be wondering why we didn't go? We have a puppy who is bat shit cray cray. He loves people so much he would be all over anyone who say ah cute puppy and mayhem would be the result! Not to mention the wine spillage food tables rummaged. All this even tho Noel insists we bring Koa over so the team can meet him. Well maybe a lazy Thursday or Friday evening when things aren't quite off the chain.which frankly... seems to be an impossible goal. The study wine bar is chocked full of wine related happenings and the fan base has exploded! Hell I remember I had to help Noel create his Yelp account. For 2 years he had less than 10 folks commenting! Wow times have changed! To quote Steve Harvey, You go boy!!! The variety, creativity and passion of Noel and his fellow wine stompers, have the neighborhood buzzing... in a good way.
