To celebrate Women’s History Month, ACRE is continuing to feature more wines from two trailblazing women winemakers:
Ashanta Wines – Co-founded by Oakland native Chenoa Ashton-Lewis, Ashanta Wines brings biodynamic, experimental co-ferments and elegant California reds rooted in ancestral winemaking.
P. Harrell Wines – Founded by Paula Harrell, this label blends family legacy with premium handcrafted wines, celebrating connection and culture in every bottle.
Available by the glass all March and by the bottle beyond.

/* ACRE took over the old Oliveto space (both casual cafe and sit-down upstairs restaurant) in Market Hall in Rockridge, by the BART station. The restaurant is a more casual, family-friendly space than Oliveto. Live jazz on Wed evenings.
We dined there last year and enjoyed dinner. Wouldn’t call it a great restaurant, but very pleasant and more affordable than Oliveto. Good, cheerful service; full bar. Did not try the cafe downstairs.
Restaurant is a better fit for the neighborhood, I think. Unlike Oliveto, a varied mix of diners: couples casually eating pizza and burgers with young kids; after-work Millennials having Happy Hour drinks and noshes; several multi-generation family groups. And this was on a weekday evening, which impressed us.
