Napa Valley Winery Exchange - San Francisco, California

Benjamin F

Wines are very well priced and shopkeepers personally only put out the stuff that they love. Would absolutely come here again in my next visit!

Came here mid December 2023 and got 3 bottles of wine. Rick was incredibly accommodating and friendly when I told him I needed some Californian wines. He was able to explain with lots of passion which wines he loved and would recommend. Don came out and went into an immense depth on some nice history of California wines and its production. Super rare find and really happy I found this place.

(English below) 自分用とお土産用に訪れました。ワインに詳しいわけではないのですが、スタッフの方が博識で、私の大まかな要望からでもベストなワインを紹介してくださいました。ご自身でテイスティングしてみて最高だったものしか置いてないとのことです。（実際にとても美味しかったですし、お土産を渡した方も非常に喜んでくださいました。）
日本人のお客さんもよく来るようで、スタッフも日本人の好みを理解しているようでしたし、日本語の説明書きもあり安心して買うことができました。

I came to this shop to buy wine for myself and a souvenir. I’m not familiar with them though, the staff is absolutely knowledgeable and introduced me to the best bottles of wines for me by my ambiguous request. Furthermore, They have tasted every bottle that is on the shelf and have thoroughly reviewed them as well. (The thing is, it became my favorite and the person I gave the souvenir to was really pleased as well.)
It seems Japanese customers often come here so that they understand our sense of taste. Also there were some Japanese explanations here.

地元ワイナリーから卸したワインで、どのワインも生産数が多くない物から厳選されたワインがあります。

壁一面に並べられたワインは見ているだけでも楽しいですが、博識なスタッフからワインの特徴を教えてもらえます。

下から順にねだんがあがりますが、一本あたりの予算、例えば30〜50$と本数をきめたうえで好みを伝えるとおすすめを紹介してもらえます。

スーツケースに入れた際に割れないようなカバーも1.5ドルとお安い値段で販売してもらえ、次に来る際はカバーをまた持ってきてくださいとアドバイスをいただきました。

日本語の説明もあり多くの日本人にオススメできるショップです。

와인 가격 훌륭하고 가게 주인 분이 아주 친절하십니다. 다른 리큐르샵과 달리 가격 태그랑 설명도 다 붙어 있어요.

Un accueil très chaleureux et d'excellents conseils. Le caviste connaît parfaitement ses vins et propose un très grand nombre de vins locaux dans toutes les gammes de prix. A recommander sans hésitation. Merci !

Don is extremely knowledgeable - has an encyclopedic knowledge of California wine. Tell him what you're looking for (flavor profiles and/or if you're planning to drink it with or without food) and I think you'll be pretty pleased with what he proposes. Never felt upsold and was given recommendations spanning all price ranges. Will take his time with you if you're interested.

They carry a number of wines that are tough to find and their prices are about market rate (maybe adding $5-10 for more expensive bottles because of their SF rent).

An oasis in an otherwise not-so-great part of town.

I bought a wine as a gift for my friend. I got a nice wine thanks for kindness of the staff! Wines are affordable to purchase. If you find gifts about California, here is the most recommended shop!

I happened by this store since I was staying at the nearby Hilton in Union Square. What a wonderful place! They carry bottles from many small local unsung wineries. As an east coaster I'd never heard of most of them, but Don talked me through many of their choices and I decided on a bottle that my wife and I loved. I was pleased at the prices, it's hard to believe that I could get a great bottle of wine for $50 that only had 8 barrels made in total. I suspect we will sign up for their quarterly wine club.
