Another shop on Divisadaro sells Blind Pig, but every time I've checked they're bottled 6+ months ago. Here however, I've found as fresh as a couple weeks and at a fair price! A great option if you live in the area. Supposedly they get their shipments on Mondays so check early week for the good stuff. Can't say much about their wine besides they appear to have a wide variety. You're not going to find a cheap $10 bottle here, but instead some smaller batch California wineries worth trying with a nice meal or if you're wanting to try something new.

They have recently upped their game with some groceries and snacks that rival in price to Gus's nearby. That said, prices are still high but it's a small business and I do love their selection so shopping here is very much a treat yourself vibe. The service is pretty good depends on who's working tbh. I've just experienced other bottle shops where the operators are more eager about their items and want to make sure you get the right thing for the vibe you're going for. The ambiance is cute very concrete and green; they make good use of the space. I do like that they did a pivot to groceries, but the reasoning we were told was due to consumer habits and people consuming less alcohol. I hope they also continue to consider the local Hispanic/Latino community that is the heart of why Mission is Mission and aim to be inclusive of that community that has historically been here. There is some peppers, onions, tomatoes, oil and things of that nature so that's definitely cool. They recently had a painter do signage, but it is currently completely in English. To me, it feels like a missed opportunity to put signage in Spanish for marketing purposes. Gemini sits on a corner so I think that would've been so cool of them if they decided to go the route of one side of the signage in English another in Spanish. Maybe they don't have Spanish speaking staff tho? Overall, love Gemini and they have a great selection of drinks and snacks and more. I will always be going there and it's worth checking out.

Blundered into this place on a rare sunny and warm Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I had…read moretotally forgotten about it. We were not well-dressed, we had left the house in a bit of a hurry to catch the last rays of sun. We started with a nibble in Little Saigon and had decided to continue walking up Polk since we hadn't been there in some time. There were some people hanging out at tables on the sidewalk obviously enjoying a glass. Inside the shopkeeper was seated at a table having a conversation with an elegantly-dressed woman over a glass of wine but -despite our ordinary appearance - didn't hesitate to help us. I was looking for something very specific which I had found there before: a Sardinian wine called Monica. No, really! They didn't have any but had a couple of recommendations from the region, including one with a grape varietal I'd never heard of. So we walked out of there with two different bottles. We're not big drinkers, but we had one on Father's Day and the other one a week later. Both really good. I'm glad this place isn't in my neighborhood, or I'd be wine-poor. But undoubtedly happy!

I found gold in the streets of San Francisco . May I say 49ers gold. This corner liquor store on 24th street is the namesake of late native born San Franciscan late great Forty Niner Bob St. Clair who played with the 49ers for 11 seasons. The outside of the place looks like a typical 24th street corner liquor store. Go inside and it's not the same. Inside you see rows of bottles of wine and bottles stacked to the ceiling. The prices here are Purdy(pretty) good. The 49ers colors are red ,white and gold ( all my favorite colors in the wine world) and St. Clair has it whether you are a red and white wine fan or champagne gold there is a variety available. Personally I like my wines semi -sweet, juicy ,spicy, and savory red. Make sure you don't forget the bottle opener for the 49ers season opener. So during the game pass the champagne and the bottle of wine, Like 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy passes it across the Touchdown line

Prices are in line with any convenience store, you'll pay around a $3-$5 premium based upon brand. But, if you're shopping at Whole Foods or up the street at the wonderful Haight Street Market, you can grab whatever your higher ethanol pleasure might be right here. And wine, too!

Don't…read morelet the size fool you...this place has a better selection than many stores ten times as large. Whether you're looking for an everyday bottle or a unicorn release you've been chasing for years, there's a good chance Brad either has it or knows how to get it. What really sets Full Proof apart, though, is the owner Brad. Plenty of store owners know what's on their shelves. Brad knows why it's there. His knowledge of high-end and collectible spirits is extraordinary. Ask him about limited-release bourbons, rare Scotch, Japanese whisky, tequila, rum, you name it, and you're likely to get a masterclass and maybe even a small sample, not a sales pitch. He understands distilleries, production methods, flavor profiles, market trends, and what actually justifies the prices versus what's simply hype. The best part is that he brings the same enthusiasm whether you're buying an normal bottle of wine or an exclusive scotch. There isn't a hint of pretension, just someone who genuinely loves great spirits and enjoys helping people discover them. Fair warning: you'll walk in for one bottle and immediately start wondering about how you are going to build of a world-class home bar. Full Proof isn't just a liquor store....it's the kind of place every whiskey, bourbon, Scotch, tequila, and rum enthusiast hopes to find in their hometown. Great spot!
