"Ruby Wine is a tiny shop on 18th street that specializes in natural wines. It feels like you’re in your cool friend’s living room (you know the one), except instead of vintage records organized by year, it’s full of wine that the super friendly owners can tell you everything about as you’re drinking a glass. This spot also hosts special events and has a nice parklet." - team infatuation
"This small Potrero Hill wine shop and bar gives off a bit of an if-you-know-you-know attitude. Not only is it quite small, but it’s also primarily a retail operation with just a few options available by the glass daily. All the bottles are available to open and enjoy either inside (if you can find space) or on the parklet for a $10 corkage fee. Still, it’s worth a visit for anyone looking for low-intervention wines from smaller producers." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
"This small, welcoming bottle shop and wine bar features an exceptional selection of natural and organic wines from small producers, including many hard-to-find labels from Italy and Eastern Europe. Looking for a bottle that's ready to go? Super-knowledgeable, friendly staff will help you choose the perfect bottle from the refrigerated section in the back. Tasting flights and wines by the glass are available daily. And don't miss Friday night happy hours, where neighborhood wine geeks gather to learn about a different spotlighted producer each week." - Hearsay Supper Club
"One of the most ardent members of the 00 camp is Ruby, a small shop in Potrero Hill. They pour a few wines by the glass — whatever they’re feeling like, always $12 – but the focus is bottles for take away and to drink in the space, for retail pricing plus $10 corkage. Their bottle list is notable but perhaps not for natural novices, and their rigid attitude can come off as aloof in an otherwise hospitable, welcome wine scene." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
"Potrero Hill’s go-to wine bar Ruby is celebrating its 11th birthday on December 16 with help from fellow neighborhood merchant Alimentari Aurora." - Paolo Bicchieri
