No matter if you just passed your sommelier test or if you just pounded a box of Franzia in a parking lot, you will find knowledge and wisdom here. If you want to get/drink some delicious-ass wine without having to be like the folks in "Somm" on Netflix, then this is the spot for you. Dont get me wrong, Stevie and Josiah (and all the staff) are a flood of knowledge. Im just saying, I can go in there and say, "I want something that youd have while listening to Marvin Gaye" and they got me. Ive never been able to describe what style/type of wine I like; I went to some blind taste testing (on Mondays) and now Im like, "Yo, whats good with a new world, low acidic wine, that has hints of over ripened black berry and some pepper. Bottom line, they truly care about their craft and will happily cultivate your personal taste. Go there, talk about some fermented grapes, and have a good time.

engaging and knowledgeable folks staff this gem of a wine shop near Lake Merritt... eclectic selection of wines (as well as a very thought out cooler stocking a small array of amazing craft beers from around the globe) some esoteric, but all seemingly accessible and well priced for any budget. you can also enjoy your bottle on premise, and the space is welcoming enough youll want to.

One of my favorite local spots. The owners, (Stevie and Josiah) and all staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, approachable and fun. They are community-minded, learn their customers names and are breaking down barriers about thinking wine and beer knowledge are inaccessible to the general public. I love their wine club and Sunday School.

An incredible selection of wine and beer is complimented by a friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable staff. Whether youre picking up a bottle of reliable Burgundy or need to know what to pair with General Tsos chicken, Bay Grape has you covered. Ask about their wine club as well.

I love Bay Grape! They are so knowledgeable without being pretentious and have a great selection of affordable, interesting wines. Every time I have gone I have been so pleased with their suggestions, whether at tastings or bottles to take home.

My favorite wine shop/bar! The owners and staff are fantastic and can help you find something perfect for any occasion at any price range. The wine club is well worth it as well.

Well curated selection of old and new world wines. Owners and staff knowledgeable and friendly. Sit and drink a bottle there for a small corkage fee.

Jasmine France

Wonderful selection in all price ranges, reasonable corkage to open bottles there (which you can take home unfinished!) & a great monthly wine club.
