"This place is a Castro GEM. Hell, a San Francisco gem. The staff is incredibly helpful -- just tell them some of the wines you've had before and what kinds of flavors you like. Their knowledge is frightfully encyclopedic (is that a word?); they'll make you a recommendation that you'll be thrilled with. My parents buy at least a case there every time they come to visit. Prices are very reasonable too, and they've got a wonderful email list to inform you of new releases." Aaron L., yelp.com
