Solvang Restaurant
Great little place in Solvang that has some traditional Danish food. Im not a huge Danish food fan but what I am a fan of is the Aebleskivers. They are so good. They are like little donuts served with raspberry jam and powdered sugar. Any sweet nut's dream!
Tastes Of The Valleys
This place is great for wine tasting. They have so many different flights and for a very good price. The pours were generous and gave you a real good sense to the flavor of the wine. Was up here recently with friends and got to experience some great local California wines.
Its a small place but with such a grand ambiance. The staff is very knowledgeable about wines and the regions they come from so don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have. We liked a couple of the merlot's we tried so much that we purchased a bottle or two to take home with us until the next time we can get up to this place.
Biondivino Wine Boutique
I am a huge fan of Italian wines and adore how big of a selection this place has. You can choose from any type, style or region and they will have something for you.
The owner is so amazing as well. Very very very knowlegable about anything you would need to know aboout these wines. Even down to the exact way they were grown. You could have a whole conversation all day with them about this and leave feeling like you just traveled over seas to Italia!
Dell'uva
Been here for a friends graduation celebration a while back while visiting them in San Francisco and had a great time. I cant believe i never knew of this place when I lived here. They have some great appetizers and wines as well as a great happy hour from 5-8pm.
Do try their baked macaroni.. oh it is wonderful and you will take you back to when you had macaroni and cheese as a kid but only much better. Or i guess you could say.. The Adult version of macaroni and cheese.
San Francisco Wine Trading Company
While visiting a friend in San Francisco I noticed this place off Taraval st. It is so great. The selection is unbeatable and the price is wonderful. You can find great wines under 10 dollars. We went to a wine tasting here and had a great time trying all sorts of wines. I loved it so much i had to buy 3-4 bottles with me. What a great rest of my vacation it was to have those on hand... :0)
Cellars 360
We used to come here after getting a great sundae at Ghiradelli. I could spend all day here looking at all the wonderful wines they offer. Wines from local wineries as well as all over the world. They probably have hundreds of different types of wine available.
I have friends who have joined the wine club here and have never regretted it. You get so many great perks which is always good if your a wine fan!
Vino Inc
One of my favorite neighborhood wine shops when i lived in San Francisco i used to come here when i was in the area. It has some fun wines for 10-20 dollars. Such great prices. Only problem.. Trying to get all the wine bottles home up and down the hills of San Francisco while walking. LOL I guess they could have been my exercise weights.. :0)
Napa Valley Winery Exchange
One of my favorite places too. It really has a great selection of various wines from all over. The best part about it when i lived in SF is that you get a 10% discount for being a San Francisco Resident. how great is that??
Great price points from all over the map so im sure you'll find the best bottle of wine for such a great price.
The Jug Shop
I love this place. Everytime im up in San Francisco i check this place out. It used to be one of my fave places to go get some wine when i lived up there. They have such an amazing variety of wines from all over the world. They also do tastings and events for you to become familiar with the wines they carry which is a great way to grow in your knowledge of wine.
Que Syrah
I almost forgot about this place. I came here a year ago while visiting a friend and absolutely fell in love with it. I am a big wine bar fan and enjoyed every minute here. The staff is very knowledgeable about wines and about what your tasting. They also have some great pairings of cheese to go along with the wine as well as yummy desserts. I had to resist to try each and every one of those delectable creations.
