A very cute natural wine shop with a tasting bar. Their staff are always super friendly and very knowledgeable -- they are always approachable and passionate about the craft. I've only had great experiences with the bottles they've recommended. A place I'll keep coming back to for sure!

Can you find wine almost anywhere today? Yes.Should you make the effort to check out Minimo? UH YES YES!!Every time we've been in Minimo, they have knocked the recommendations out of the park. Not only are they great at matching what you're looking or, they almost always have a recommendation that you weren't thinking about and will be blown away. They have a great rotating selecting and everyone there always has a smile on their face.You (and your guests) will love what you find here.

Best little natural wine shop! The recommendations by the owner are always perfect. There's a wide selection of wines at very reasonable price points. The interior is light, bright, and welcoming. Since I found this gem, I'm often disappointed with wine I buy elsewhere. There's simply something magical about this spot.

Cutest little wine shop with the most unique imported wine. The staff here will simplify the process for you, just tell them what you like and the price point. I wasn't in love with the wine personally, but I think you can find a perfect gift here and the prices are affordable. I particularly favor Napa wines, so it's a personal preference thing. I really enjoyed the process of shopping here and seeing the different labels.

If you're looking for a unique selection of natural wines in the Bay Area, check out our favorite natural wine shop! They have a great selection of French wines from the Loire Valley, so if you're a fan of French wines, you definitely must try them out. Not to mention, the two owners are knowledgeable and always fun to speak to, it's a great experience every time.

Whenever I visit my friend in Oakland from Tahoe, I always make sure I pop into this place. Always friendly, approachable service and great, fun, selections of natural wines. On this trip after being stuck up in record-high snow, Nick helped me several times to purchase wine for all my friends who gave me shelter and a much-needed respite from back-to-back storms. So much to choose from, and many wonderful wines. Service is respectful, professional, and just downright friendly. I roll in looking like a Tahoe local, alongside, sophisticated artsy types, all of us receiving great service without having to worry about an awkward up sale. I may have gotten a little carried away that week, but I feel good about supporting a local shop in the great town of Oakland.

I walked by Minimo during one of my lunchtime walks and thought of it for a nice New Year's Eve bottle of wine. Wish I'd gotten the name of the woman who helped me. She was able to change her suggestions from my original ideas of a Grenache or Syrah and sold me some delicious Sangiovese. I'm going to go back when I have more time to learn about the winemakers they carry. The place is very inviting and beautiful. The prices were reasonable too.
