User Reviews for William Cross Wine Merchants

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've stopped in several times since moving to Russian Hill and have always gotten good wine recommendations and felt comfortable browsing or just chatting with the staff. Every person I've spoken with there easily qualifies as a true wine enthusiast.

Pros: $15 and under wine, convenient location, wine tasting

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great wine shop, and their Wednesday night wine tasting is fun - guys pouring are very friendly and willing to talk about the wines as much or as little as you want. The better known wine nights can get pretty crowded (italian wines, etc), but still worth going to. (Not really a singles pick up spot -- from a female perspective anyway -- more girls than guys as a general rule, and the guys that come are usually w. someone.)

Pros: small but great wine shop, staff very friendly, suprisingly good prices on stemware (limited selection though)

Cons: parking (it is in Russian Hill, after all)

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This is the best place to find high quality wines without necessarily paying high prices. Great, friendly and insighful service with terrific variety with many choices. You tell them a meal you are preparing , and they will show you the best wines to compliment all flavors. They even host wine tastings every Wednesday night

Pros: Terrific Variety, Great Values, Wonderful People

Cons: none

Polk Street wine store morphs into a wine bar at night.  See the full editorial review.
