A16 tops the list of the best wine bars in San Francisco. The owner-sommelier
Shelley Lindgren’s wine list is focused on Southern Italian varietals. This
wine list is an integral part of the A16 experience and what makes it the best
of the wine bars in San Francisco.
Andalu on 16th Street is another one of San Francisco’s finest wine bars. They
are awesome because they offer small plates with big flavors. This is
one of the San Francisco wine bars that has an approachable wine list and
offers 35 wines by the glass. The crowd there is mixed and
energetic.
Wine bars don’t usually come as good, or as small, as Bacchus on Hyde Street.
Bacchus has knowledgeable bartenders that make innovative saké cocktails and
they pour over 50 wines that range in price from under $10 a glass to more
than $200 a bottle. The signature drink at Bacchus is their sake-version
of the mojito.
Cav is one of the wine bars in San Francisco that takes itself extremely
seriously. Cav has a well-chosen wine list of over 300 international wines.
Some of the wines on the list are offered by a taste, or the glass. The chef
has crafted unique takes on lots of dishes and Cav actually offers a cheese
course that is served at the proper
temperature and is on par with some of the finer restaurants in San
Francisco.
Wine bars like Piccolo on Fillmore street handpick the wines on their wine
lists.
Piccolo is one of the wine bars that choose limited availability and small
production wines. They prefer to concentrate on Italian wines. The owner
of Piccolo has wonderful antipasti on his menu. There is fierce competition
between wine bars to have the most
excellent food to accompany their spirits.
Varnish Fine Art is both an art gallery and one of the top wine bars in San
Francisco. The atmosphere at Varnish Fine Art is comfortable and it
draws a post-work crowd for beer or wine during happy hour. The wine
list at Varnish Fine Art is well chosen and
features a number of delicious fine wines, as well as soju and saké
cocktails.
