"Natural wine shop and bar Tofino Wines is closing its doors after nine years in business, with hopes to move to a new location. Owners Mark Nevin and April Sack announced in an email to customers that they will close the shop at 2696 Geary Boulevard, writing that Tofino’s last day as a bar will be on Saturday, March 30. The couple said issues with renewing their lease and continuing challenges with the pandemic contributed to their decision to close. It’s not all sad news, however: Nevin and Sack say they plan to find a new retail space for their wine shop and will grow their online business in the meantime. They’re looking to open their store in early July and launched a GoFundMe to help reach their opening goal. And while the wine bar portion of the shop will close at the end of March, the couple says they will be “operating in and out of the space” until the end of April in case anyone wants to pick up a bottle." - Dianne de Guzman
"A beautiful, large, airy space in Laurel Heights is home to Tofino, a neighborhood favorite wine bar and bottle shop. Its owners April Sack and Mark Nevin are wine industry lifers, and share a love of teaching customers about the vagaries of natural winemaking processes, as well as lesser-known wine regions from the old world. There’s also a small menu of beer and snacks." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
"Staton Whaley came to California right after college in 2020 for a job at E&J Gallo Winery, the biggest wine supplier in the country. He took up a side gig at Tofino Wines on Geary and Masonic boulevards to get further involved in the Bay Area wine industry." - Paolo Bicchieri
