I bought a bottle of wine from this store earlier today and enjoyed the taste of it. It was a lot of fun and delicious. Furthermore, the waiter who delivered my order was extremely polite and pleasant. The setting was also clean, not overcrowded, and comfortable. Ill probably buy another bottle of wine here the next time Im in town. Thank you so much!

If you like quality imbibment then The San Francisco Wine Tasting is the place for you. Its a small out of the way boutique that caters to all walks of lushery. I showed up with a $100 gift certificate that was burning a hole in my pocket and they took excellent care of me. I spoke with the whiskey sommelier and left with a Sexton Irish Wiskey, a Smoke Wagon Burbon, and a 1888 Rum. They were all SUPERB and punched way above their weight. Thank You, Thank You and Thank You again for your perfect recommendations. I will be back for more.

They are deserving of high marks! This was a fantastic spot for a wine shop. My family had hoped to sample some of their fine wines. They had to come back, I was told, because it was a good one. From the back to the front, we adore this place. The level of service they provided was outstanding. Heres a loyal client!

This wine shop has a lot of various wines to choose from. From white wine, which is my favorite to red wine and champagne as well. Also, you could taste their very own wine, which was placed in a barrel. Aside from wines, they had also beers that you can try. The place was so relaxing and elegant as well. I cant wait to stop by at this wine shop again.

The experience was really cool! Theyve got a large range of wines, liquor, and beer. They also have free samples that you can test on the various items they have. Overall, the experience was pretty good. Employees are always welcoming and recently led us to an exceptionally good tasting. This is a great shop for wine! Highly advised!

Great ambiance! Very good wine and food. The staves were so friendly and polite as well. They had massive wide selections of wine to choose from. Aside from that, they had also beverages that you could try as well. This place will be one of my one-stop-shop for wine. I will surely recommend this shop to my relatives and friends.

Great place. It’s technically a liquor, wine, and beer shop. The calmness of the place was indeed relaxing. The staves were so friendly and welcoming. A bottle of wine that I bought from them tastes great. I love being in this shop because of the massive wine selections that they got. I will surely stop again in this wine shop.

This wine shop is outstanding! They have the best selection of wines. They are always my favorite and my go-to wine shop every time I needed it. The staff is amazing and always interesting to interact with. The prices are not cheap, but once you taste you understand why. Thank you very much and keep up the good work always.

Id award this shop 5-stars! They amused me very well when I was about to buy my grandpa a bottle of wine. Honestly, I loved it when I was there for a couple of hours. It was a clean, cool, and relaxing place. Besides, I didnt disappoint the waiter with the wine he was offering. It tastes perfect. Uh, thanks!

This is a good place to start learning about wines and other products from this region. James is a very interesting person to talk with, and he is excellently knowledgeable about the area and the products he has on offer. We really enjoyed the visit with him and would recommend anyone in the area to drop by for a lesson at this Wine Shop.

This is a really good business, well operated and great service. The people that work here really care about making sure you are pleased with their service. My 1st order wasn’t complete, but it may have had more to do with the way I ordered being my 1st time navigating their site. When I called they picked right up and put me in touch with a very helpful member of their staff who got right on it and actually air freighted my item along with another order I placed, at their expense and I didn’t even ask. Seeing reviews from other online stores similar to this makes it clear that these folks set themselves apart from the pack. Keep it up!

I stopped over with this shop last week and ordered beers and champagne. I like the way on how the waiters and waitresses looked like. They were decent, kind, and wears a smile. Besides, the beers and the champagne that they served to me was great. Their shop was big and comfortable to relax. Honestly, it was truly nice to be here at your shop. Thanks!

Outstanding service. They have a great selection of wines including many unusual varietals and wines from locations not typically represented in dedicated shops. Youll find wines from Georgia, Greece and from regions of Spain, France and other places youd never expect to find. Selectiin of spirits are limited but the section is well curated.

Easy location, easy parking, reasonable prices! WOW. Great variety and the staff cant do enough for you, even elegantly wrapping gifts! Knowledgeable employees will educate and direct you. Dont be intimidated. Lots of tastings and events. Good things come in small shops. Support your local merchants. They have vast libraries stuffed in their heads unlike big stores where the employees know next to nothing and care even less. These guys have tons of gift options for client, family and colleague gifts. One stop shop Id say.

If their prices were a little lower Id easily give these guys five stars. Local neighborhood wine shop willing to work with you to find your perfect bottle for the perfect occasion. Their weekly tastings are great value and an awesome opportunity to try things you wouldnt normally get the chance to try. Seems like their focus is producers.that put a little more thought into their product. Biodynamic or organically farmed wines are easy to find here.

Ive ordered from them a few times and only bottle has had a problem. I let them know and they responded within 24 hours that they would be sending a replacement (note: I didnt even request a replacement, I just merely wanted to let them know the wine they had may have gone bad).Fantastic company. Great selection. Love their shipping options.

We are Cellar club members and we go to almost every tasting on Saturday and Sunday. Gary, Julia, Austin and Kerry are extremely knowledgeable about everything in the store and take the time to find something that matches your price point and taste. Always a great time and a pleasant experience when we stop in. Their weekend tastings are very diverse and have helped immensely in developing our palettes.

Review №55

Great selection, price and advice. Heard about a champion cocktail on NPR had like 5 liquors, some I had never heard of. I showed them the article and they had it all. There is a tendency to think that you can only get a decent price in a big chain like bevmo, but their prices are totally fair.

Review №56

I know very little about wine. When I go to the San Francisco Wine Trading Co. I feel very special. Gary and Julia Marcaletti as well as everyone working there are so knowledgeable about wine; I dont really have to know anything. I come in with what Im eating and voila a perfect wine is selected that pares with my meal and at a price that I can afford. Expertise and value is what they deliver time and time again. Kudors to the owners of this great establishment.

Fantastic neighborhood wine shop serving the West Portal/Forest Hill/Parkside/Golden Gate Heights area.They carry a great selection of wines from around the world, with an excellent selection in the $20 and under range for those looking for a more affordable selection. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. SFWTC has a small selection of cheese, liquors (many batch distilled), and beers for people wanting to round out their wine purchases.Tastings are a highlight here. These $10 events on Saturdays and Sundays offer a chance to hang out and try new wines. They frequently have free treats--one of the highlights in the past was excellent paella made just outside the shop. Ive bought quite a few wines after being turned onto them at the tastings.With a one-two stop at Guerra Meats and SFWTC, my picnic or home-based happy hour is complete!Also street parking is relatively easy.
