While mostly a winemaker, Vin Traverso has also been a longtime partner at the Kingfish Pub & Café in Oakland, California. Over a century old and regarded for its deep Cal (U.C. Berkeley) connections, it has been named the "Best Dive Bar in California", even picking itself up and moving across the street to ward off demolition.
