Oyster Bliss

Once a year Kermit Lynch Winery and Monterey Fish join forces to put on one of the best Saturday afternoons you'll ever have in Berkeley. While taking over the parking lot of the international wine store, tents and tables are set up and the only thing Tom at Monterey Fish is hoping for is some sunshine! It was a beautiful Saturday and leading up to our astronomical heat wave so it was the perfect day to enjoy wine, oysters, and get our daily dose of Vitamin D. When we got there shortly after noon, the line was long and everyone looked pretty comfortable with bottles of wine. We were just hoping to snag a seat at some point. After getting 3 dozen oysters ($10/6 oysters), grilled garlic sausage & salad ($10), and a bottle of wine (wines by the glass and bottle were available), we found some table space to enjoy the feast. What could be better than sun, vino, and oysters? That's right folks, pizza! Throwing you off a bit? Well, even after all that food, we went to Cheeseboard and split a pie! I will definitely be out for Oyster Bliss next year. It is a bit of a trek to the East Bay but a fun event to attend. Be sure to stop into the wine store for a special selection of imported wines.
