WINE Bar & Shop, San Francisco

WINE Bar & Shop -

From novice to connoisseur you can swirl and sniff to your hearts content at Wine Bar & Shop.  The Apprentice meets the Pottery Barn shopper at this Financial District favorite.  Well versed in wine, the staff will recommend a glass or several for those looking for their own personal wine tour.  The bar is airy and modern and the walls are covered with vivid abstracts.  The selection is vast and prices range from budget to bling.  You can even ask for advice to please the most discerning of palates and take notes so you sound impressive too.  For those with the thankless job of designated driver, there is a notable tea selection of exotic flavors.  On Tuesdays, check out a winemaker event where you can talk and taste with an expert.
