"San Francisco is about to receive a highly-pedigreed wine shop as NYC’s Verve Wine prepares to open an outpost in Pacific Heights in May, offering a polished outpost for purchasing small production wines. The shop will open at 2358 Fillmore at Washington St., in a former shoe store. Verve Wine offers a deep bench of wines via online inventory, offering 3,000 labels to ship in addition to the 500 sold in-store. In addition to selling and shipping bottles, Verve will offer classes and tastings with producers and importers. It opens May 12." - Ellen Fort
