Saison Cellar & Wine Bar

"This wine bar (from the team behind Saison, if you couldn’t guess) is all about serving glasses that are typically sold by the bottle—like Krug champagne. Just a few doors down from Saison in SoMa, they’ve got 40-ish glasses, with prices ranging from $11 to $75. And if you decide you need a snack while you're sipping that syrah, they’ve got a few food options, like a croque monsieur, caviar service, and potato balls topped with lavender honey." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1

"If you’re looking for a night of stellar wines led by the winemaker of a two-Michelin-starred restaurant group, that’s a tall order, but Saison Cellar & Wine Bar is your place. Saison co-founder and winemaker Mark Bright takes the lead at this Townsend Street spot, and he’s curated a broad selection of wines available by the glass and bottle, with options in every price range one can imagine. There will be Saison Wines, of course, but also international and domestic options that have influenced Bright’s wine journey. Maison Nico provides bites with a selection of pates and terrines." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

"From the mighty restaurant group behind Saison and Angler in San Francisco comes Saison Cellar & Wine Bar, the business’s first dedicated wine bar and Scotts Valley’s first wine bar at all. The Lookout had the story of beverage director Mark Bright extolling the virtues of the mostly French and Santa Cruz Mountain wines in the new space, which opened in mid-October." - Lauren Saria
