Peter S.Peter Shanley: Go to Hotel Biron, ask Chris for a recommendation on a nice bottle, get a cheese plate with Blue Cheese/Honey and the Triple Cream, play a game of cribbage and enjoy the best wine bar in SF

Bre L.Bre Lambert: Vibe is romantic & secretive. Get the full spread–cheese, meat, fruit, olives & chocolate-to pair with your wine. Tuck into the back room for privacy, but take note that's also where bathrooms are.

Carrie N.Carrie Nyden: I found my spot for wine in SF! Their wine list is the best I've seen (great variety & they have wines from one of my favorite importers - Louis Dressner). Amazing date spot too!
