    They offer an ever-changing range of wines by the glass. They have the same wines by the bottle at retail.Order the bread, cheese, and cold meats to fully enjoy the wine.

    Very busy on Friday night. Be prepared to wait if you get there after 5pm. It's worth the wait. Great service and wines. Had the Cow Girl Cheese Round and Salumi Plate and it was good!😄

    They let you bring in outside food, so it's a perfect spot to grab a seat with a glass of beer or wine to go with food from the Farmers Market stalls.

    Housed in that bastion of San Francisco culinary temples, you'll find a regularly rotating list of nearly 30 wines from around the world available by the taste, glass and bottle.

    Start off with a grower producer champagne and cheese. Then onto some cured meats and a glass of red rhone. All of this in the heart of the ferry building.

    Get one of the flight for a great sampling. If they're out of something you can choose from other menu items which led us to the very tasty Daou Cab!
