Verve Wine

Was walking by and noticed this beautiful wine shop on my way home from the vet. The folks inside were busy with inventory or something but very friendly. I usually just pick wine by whatever label catches my eye the most and that doesn't always yield the best results. This shop had so much! So many amazing wines to choose from. I needed help. This time I asked for a recommendation and the shop keepers were eager to point me in the direction of something they have been loving lately. They recommended the most amazing Burgundy wine and it is thee loveliest wine I have had all year. I will definitely be coming back! Lovely place, nice folks.

Verve wine is a wine shop with an extensive collection of wines that is tucked away on Fillmore street. While it didn't really seem like they had anything to eat, I ended up enjoying a wine flight while there. It was 3 glasses for around 32$. The wines were pretty interesting and the people working there seemed quite knowledgeable on the wine. The sitting area inside is quite nice and it's cool being able to see all the different bottles stacked up along the sides. There is also an option to buy a bottle, pay a corkage fee of 15$ and enjoy it in the shop. Will definitely be back for one if their events they seem to hold there and just for a nice spot to have a drink in the future

Date of Visit: 11/2/2022Finally visit the cute wine shop on Fillmore Street. Besides shopping for the wines, there is a big marble table in the middle that you can enjoy a glass or two. I got the Wine Flight $24. The day when we visited it is Around the World flight, with 1 white and 2 reds. 2021 Andre & Michel Quenard Les Abymes 2020 4 Monos Viticultores 'GR10' Vino de la Sierra de Gredos2020 Brovia Sorì del Drago Barbera d'AlbaThere is also an option of open a bottle. They charge $15 corkage fee if you want to consume in the store.

Although they have a decent selection of wines,I had a less than pleasant experience with green sales person Meghan.Firstly the way I am treated is just as important as what I am purchasing.Meghan was not busy.She had the time to answer a few basic questions related to the wines but was impatient,had poor listening skills and unfriendly.There are many wine shops and liquor stores in the immediate area to have 5o tolerate a sales person's arrogant attitude

This is a great spot on Fillmore! I came here with my boyfriend for a tasting before dinner on a Saturday. We walked in and didn't have to make an appointment. The ambience is incredible, the music great, and the service top notch. There were two staff on hand that seamlessly served us our different wines. We did a tasting of 3 wines. All 3 wines were truly something special and the portions were much more than you typically expect at a tasting. We ordered the trio of cheeses and crackers as well and were blown away by the relatively low prices for the area, as well as the unique selection of cheeses. You get a good serving of cheese as well! After the tasting, we were not pressured at all to buy any wine, which is always nice. I would come back here to buy wine in the future if I was not headed out to a restaurant afterward. Overall, I had a great experience at verve and will come back again!

Verve and I are going to be seeing a lot of each other. It's recently come to my attention, after a visit to Verve, that my favorite way to drink wine is pretty much anyplace I can purchase a bottle at retail cost and consume that bottle on-site with little or no additional mark-up. If I can do that in a place with a stunning interior, one that makes me feel better than I actually am, all the better. Verve and I? We're going to be BFFs. The original Verve is a wine shop in NYC's Tribeca. The concept is improved upon in San Francisco. Intimately surrounded by walls of wines, priced from completely reasonable (bottles can be found in the $20 range) to completely unreasonable, there's something here for every price point. The staff is well-versed in directing you to a selection should you be capable of describing what it is you like and throw no shade if you start by saying "I like something in the $40 and under range...". Once you've decided on a bottle, swanky glassware with the thinnest of stems is laid in front of you, and that bottle is yours to enjoy. Seated communally at the gorgeous natural stone tabletop that dominates the entire center of the shop, sharing wine with your friends, you will surely strike up conversation at some point with those nearby. What a lovely invitation. Verve has a couple of oddities that I think they could improve upon:* Wine flights can be had here but there's no printed information on pricing provided to guests; and* Food is of the cheese/charcuterie genre and they were out of much of it at the time I visited.That said, I wasn't interested in food or flights during my visit so I had nary a complaint to register. It's fair to say I have a big old crush on Verve.

This is the same Verve, as the one from NYC's Tribeca neighborhood. It's one of the new places now amongst other nice shops along Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. Inside this beautiful new space, you'll find wines from all over the world at varying price points. I saw many in the $20 to $50 price range. Unfortunately, I arrived when they were just about closing, so I didn't get a chance to chat with them extensively, but if you're in the neighborhood, it's worth a peek inside. The huge marble table in the center is a wow-piece! I wish I had a kitchen that would accommodate a huge center table like that.If you want to rose all day this summer, they have a huge offering of rose wines out in front. I love a glass of rose in the warm weather, but I think it's really because I like the attractiveness of the pink blush hue in a wine glass. Their focus is on wines from smaller producers, which make your wine buying excursion ever more interesting. They also pride themselves on service and provide sommelier consults for you on wine selection and wine pairing. You can also book tastings and seminars with their sommeliers.

EVENT: it's the weekend and got some girlfriends visiting me! We had a weekend stroll around this area... and was looking for a wine place where we can sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Came across this place... looks very romantic... there's a bunch of couples sitting around... we were deciding if we want to come here and chill.. cause y'all ... we so loud in general... and might ruin the mood of the placeDRINK: soooooo.... we decided to go in.... the 4 of us... and yes we were loud!! **Ops** **Sworries**- we decided to get a bottle of wine ... we picked it out from the library collection of wine... I LOVE IT! I love the ladder... it's so cool! - FYI, corkage fee $15. So, if y'all decide to drink there... add $15 for corkage fee if you do pick a wine and decide to drink. I LOVE IT- we ended up with a basic rose' ... we picked it right from the fridge! OVERALL: excellent place for a date

Great wine shop and tasting room. Best selection in the city and their staff is fantastic and providing options that fit one's palette. Definitely worth checking out.

What happened, Verve? We loved going to the shop, buying a nice bottle, paying the corkage fee, and drinking it there. Now it's just an average wine shop. There are 20 of those in the city that have more variety and a more educated staff. I understand if you weren't making money on the wine tastings and chose to stop that model, but you also killed the one thing that made your shop truly unique. As part of the wine industry in San Francisco, I have no reason to go back.
