Love this wine shop! One of the few shops in the Bay Area that has great wines and does not feel contrived or pretentious. The owner is the same guy that owns gioia, and he’s just genuinely a nice knowledgeable guy. I first discovered off dry Lambrusco through him, and I’m hooked!

I came late and he was happy to pause midway though locking the door and offer great suggestions based on my cryptic descriptions. Very knowledgeable and great selections, so many it could be a museum. Good practices for social distancing, one allowed in the store at a time, and very friendly.

Art is very friendly. He's been able to consistently recommended natural wines that I've enjoyed. Prices are reasonable. They accept cards and tap to pay, which I highly prefer. Check them out! They're all right next to many markets, bakeries, eateries, and the nursery, making this a nice one stop block.

Art and family are incredibly knowledgeable and kind! Great selection. Had the rare bottle I was looking for of bourbon and ended up walking out with a lot more than I intended!

Love this place - I don't have a great wine vocabulary, so I always tell the shop owner what I'm looking for. He's so helpful, and I've never been disappointed. I always state my budget, too, and he's always stuck to that. I've been really impressed!
