"For a city so close to Napa and Sonoma, San Francisco has been woefully short of good wine bars. But newcomer Verjus is helping to bridge that gap and the presence of some of the city's best somms hangining out and having a glass of red is a good indication it's working. But if you're worried this might be an intimidating place for those with a less than expert palate, don't be. Despite the gravity of the wine list, the approach is wonderfully lax. The staff is passionate, experts in their craft, and good at helping the chronically indecisive." - Jenna Scatena
