Wine bar & bottle shop with educational events, cheese & tinned fish
"Decant in SoMa feels more like a friendly book shop than a wine bar, with its bright lights, colorful walls, and staff that will ask you if there’s anything they can help you with before you even get close to the register. It’s mostly a bottle shop, but you can also drink whatever you buy here or try a glass of something. Plus, they have an extensive cheese and charcuterie menu for you to enjoy with your glass of nebbiolo if you want." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
"Like many wine bars, Decant SF also functions as a retail shop, known not only for its selection of European wines but also for its commitment to inclusivity and education. Open since 2019, Decant makes a good option whether you’re in the market for a glass — there are typically about 10 selections available at any given time — or a bottle, since the $16 corkage fee makes opening anything you’d like relatively affordable. Pair your beverage with a selection from the list of cheese, charcuterie, and tinned fish." - Dianne de Guzman
"This SoMa bottle shop, wine bar, and event space hybrid is perfect for unnatural wine amateurs—or if you just have a lot of questions. Everyone here is more than happy to answer any you have while you sip on a glass of albariño that they probably recommended. Beyond the mostly European wine list, beers and spirits are available, as well as enough tinned fishes and mollusks to ensure several (delicious) years of survival on a deserted island. Once you’ve had your fill of grape juice and brine, have a repeat at home, as everything from the by-the-glass wine menu and the selection of canned seafood can be picked up in the bottle shop." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
"I’m interested in DECANTsf, the bar and bottleshop co-founded by Indian‑American sommelier Simi Grewal, which teamed up with three women‑owned brands to create a Diwali Gift Set centered on a bottle of Naidu Winery’s 2021 Russian River Valley pinot noir; pairings are offered with Diaspora Co.’s Chai Masala for $71, Brightland’s Chili‑Infused Olive Oil for $94, or the whole trio for $107, with online orders due before October 14 for delivery by October 24." - Lauren Saria
"From Monday, June 27 through Saturday, July 2, the owners of DECANTsf will donate 10 percent of still rosé bottle sales to the National Network of Abortion Funds." - Lauren Saria
