"Wine tasting on the harbor? How cool is that? Well worth a stop in during a walk along the Embarcadero. Very nice decor inside with unique art work. The art work is also displayed on the wine bottle labels and these have to be the most beautiful bottles labels I have ever seen! The art work also tells a story and the hostess took the time to tell the story as she poured the wine samples. She was very knowledgeable about the wines and the story of the winery. Wine tasting along the harbor has a unique ambiance all it's own. There is plenty of seating and choice of sitting inside or outside. All the wines are very good. I have been here several times, before the expansion and recently after. The place is always a delight to stop in each time!"
