Cruse Wine Company w/ Winemaker Michael Cruse
This event is over, it happened on
June 20, 2026 at Vintage Berkeley in Berkeley, CA
Come on down to Vine street Saturday afternoon to meet and taste with local winemaking wizard, Michael Cruse. Known for his show stopping sparkling wines (grower Champagne from California? Ultramarine? Yes please!) and quaffable, fruity, affordable reimaginings of California table wine, Michael is simply a star of California winemaking. He grew up in SF, studied biochemistry at Cal and has always called Northern California home. Michael founded Ultramarine Wines in 2008 and Cruse Wine Company in 2013 & his background working in science translates to a real sense of the chemistry of wine and an energetic, thoughtful, scholarly approach to winemaking.

Vintage Berkeley on Vine Street is a small neighborhood wine shop in North Berkeley, a short walk from the cluster of restaurants and cafes often called the Gourmet Ghetto. The space is compact and straightforward, with shelves of bottles organized by region and style and a small counter where staff talk through picks or pour tastes during events. It feels more like a serious retail shop than a bar, though there is room to stand around high tables or the counter for tasting flights during scheduled happenings. more...
