Wines are very well priced and shopkeepers personally only put out the stuff that they love. Would absolutely come here again in my next visit!
Came here … More mid December 2023 and got 3 bottles of wine. Rick was incredibly accommodating and friendly when I told him I needed some Californian wines. He was able to explain with lots of passion which wines he loved and would recommend. Don came out and went into an immense depth on some nice history of California wines and its production. Super rare find and really happy I found this place. -
I happened by this store since I was staying at the nearby Hilton in Union Square. What a wonderful place! They carry bottles from many small local unsung … More wineries. As an east coaster I'd never heard of most of them, but Don talked me through many of their choices and I decided on a bottle that my wife and I loved. I was pleased at the prices, it's hard to believe that I could get a great bottle of wine for $50 that only had 8 barrels made in total. I suspect we will sign up for their quarterly wine club.

Don is extremely knowledgeable - has an encyclopedic knowledge of California wine. Tell him what you're looking for (flavor profiles and/or if you're … More planning to drink it with or without food) and I think you'll be pretty pleased with what he proposes. Never felt upsold and was given recommendations spanning all price ranges. Will take his time with you if you're interested.
They carry a number of wines that are tough to find and their prices are about market rate (maybe adding $5-10 for more expensive bottles because of their SF rent).
An oasis in an otherwise not-so-great part of town. -
I bought a wine as a gift for my friend. I got a nice wine thanks for kindness of the staff! Wines are affordable to purchase. If you find gifts about … More California, here is the most recommended shop!
-
I walked in looking to buy just one of the well-known labels. What I got was an amazing lesson about the Californian wine production and history. And left … More the store with great local wines. If you want wines from California, this is the place.

Came into this shop on a mission to find a good bottle of California wine, came out with 3. I love this place and Andy turned me on to a few Cab Francs … More that were delicious AND affordable. Thanks again, I’ll be back in your store the next time I’m in San Fran.
