Amazing wine bar—we stumbled upon it absolutely randomly and just loved the atmosphere at first glance. We tried 4 different wines, and all of them were excellent. The crab cakes and focaccia were good too. I highly recommend this place for its nice and quiet atmosphere and good wine choices.

Such a cute place! The covered patio has a lovely, chill vibe. The wines are excellent. The host is really nice. Explains all the wines so well. Yummy appetizers. Must visit!
★★★★★ "This place has an adorable patio in the back. It’s shielded from the wind, which, in SF, is a non-trivial matter. I thought the wine selection was quirky and delectable. I went with an oenophile — and he confirmed their wines were quite fine.
★★★★★ "Cute little Hayes Valley wine shop, with excellent accompanying bites (charcuterie, cheese, dips). Quaint backyard oasis patio — perfect for catching up with friends or a first date.
