Great wines, great place. If the guy behind the counter wouldn't have ruined our evening with his arrogance, it would have been flawless.
Arthur EsqueOctober 9, 2017
I love natural wine. This place was a disappointment. Great wine, but terrible service by Dismissive wine snob with no desire to engage with customers who are genuinely interested in the product.
Jody VaynshtokMay 13, 2018
Cute space with wine experts that can help you find the perfect glass of wine for your taste.
Chris KantarjievSeptember 28, 2019
Short but excellent wine list, varied and varying. Just a small selection of snacks. A great place for a glass with friends.
Ashley YueSeptember 6, 2018
Cute and intimate wine bar that serves a good selection of natural wine.
Alison Byrne FieldsNovember 4, 2019
They sell natural wines and have a decently-priced bottle shop.
Heather RodriguezJune 28, 2017
Wine selection is not that great. Nibbles are solid.
SFGateMay 6, 2015
The vibe feels authentic and the aesthetic, while on trend, is appealing. Choose from their curated wine list—scrawled on a chalkboard, of course—and snag a seat in the upstairs loft space.

This place is fantastic and authentic w/ a rotating selection of organic wines. Come on Fri/Sat nights when they have a DJ playing chill music, get a bottle, and head to the cute upstairs area

order gatti piero's moscato. super rare (exclusive?), best moscato i've had. muscat (a.k.a. white grape), subtly sweet, slightly bubbly but not "sparkling", favorite white!

Low-key spot playing vinyl records. Get their wine recs & order the oysters if they have them! Pâté is great, rillettes not so much
Juha ChristensenAugust 31, 2014
Eclectic selection of wine. Good place to order decanters with wine, and try out selections you'd not normally go with. This is the perfect location to go outside your comfort zone :-)

Good selection of natural wines by the glass, albeit expensive. Ambiance feels very european and cozy and the upstairs area is perfect for carrying on a conversation.

drink a glass of wine, they're all good. have some red hawk and sottocenere. request a song from the pile of vinyl.

On Sunday, get over to Terroir. The SoMa wine bar and merchant has a wide selection of organic and bio-dynamic wines, offers varying selections of cheese, and has vinyl spinning on a legit turntable. Read more

Comfy organic french food. Large cheese plates. Great wine list & knowledgeable bartenders. Perfect spot in SoMa for a late nite craving !

I use Terroir as a wine shop—they can sell bottles til 2am!! They're also my personal sommeliers; I tell Lucas "I want to spend $#, my boyfriend is making ... for dinner." Never steers us wrong!
Jenny JJanuary 26, 2018
Super chill bar, great if you want to be able to talk to people. I imagine this is a great place for a first date.
Anthony McGheeMarch 30, 2010
Their wines are true to their terroire, hnce the name. No flavor additives
Chris EdwardsJune 13, 2015
Cosy loft space upstairs is great for dates. If you like any of the wines, bottles to go are 50% off the menu price.

Quite cozy wine lovers corner. Huge selection of wines and a really sweet service. Great for group meet ups.

Fills the "not a cafe yet not a bar" gap that exists in America. Lounge, trust the bartenders, enjoy the music, friends and wine.
Sheila MarikarDecember 13, 2013
Awesome wines and a wall of records served up in what your frathouse would look like if it were super hipster and actually cool.

Great selection of natural wines. Try Broc, Irene, or Krater! 🍷

Check out the chalkboard list behind the bar. Order at the bar. Start off by the glass to find something awesome, then go for a whole bottle.
Steven RosenblattOctober 20, 2017
The most amazing wine bar with spectacular wines.
Samantha SmithAugust 23, 2014
They change the wine menu twice a week and never order more than two cases. Come!
Justine GilbaneMay 16, 2013
You can get a wine flight if you ask nicely and learn more about 3 different wines. I would recommend getting some cheese too.
Thê-Minh TrinhSeptember 9, 2014
Fantastic place. Enjoy the pâté de campagne with you wine!

Who doesn't love a cheese plate with a side bottle of Pinot? Pro tip: ask about the secret wine club.

My favorite wine bar in San Francisco! Lots of unique, natural wines.

Good date spot except for the loud grating music (tonight anyway). GREAT wine.

There is a foodtruck with French food across the street and they allow you to bring food from there. Yummy!
Daniel MarkhamJune 7, 2015
Go there for the wine. Maybe even for the playlist. Not for the cheese.

Spend a dreamy weekday afternoon cozying up with a pal and some wine in the upstairs nook.
