Tuesday, November 3, 2026 @Rosedale Restaurant

Long before terms like terroir-driven and minimal intervention became marketing buzzwords, North Berkeley Imports was already sourcing artisanal, authentic wines from family-owned growers and producers in France and Italy.

Chefs Susan Spicer and Allie Birdsall, along with sommelier Michelle Gueydan and Beth Riblett of Swirl Wines, tasted a number of under-the-radar gems in North Berkeley’s portfolio and selected 5 wines from France and 1 from Italy: Jean Vesselle “Oeil de Perdrix” Champagne (poured from magnums), D. de la Grenaudiere Muscadet, Mas de Gourgonnier Provence Rosé, Durdilly Beaujolais, D. Sauvete Touraine Rouge, and Chiara Condello Romagna Sangiovese.

Special guest Micaela Tuttle, Regional Import Manager for North Berkeley Imports, will join us for an evening of distinctive wines, thoughtful pairings, and the stories behind the bottles. Bringing it all together: a dinner curated and crafted by women!
