In Short – Small-production vintners with sustainable practices are the focus at this multifaceted neighborhood boutique. Wine enthusiasts sample weekly changing flights at the petite mosaic bar in back of the shop and in the outdoor garden. Well-stocked shelves boast varietals divided into accessible categories, like cool, clean whites and sparkling. Specialty liquors, such as limoncello, grappa and premium tequila can be found near the register while a large freezer offers a selection of imported beer.
Awesome wine selection and great advice

The staff here knows their stuff. They have an interesting selection, some of which I haven't seen elsewhere. Everything I have had there, on recommendation, has been great.
Go for the weekly wine tastings!
- Pros: Great selection, knowledgeable staff
- Cons: You have to park in the Castro if you drive - not
