Ferry Plaza Wine San Francisco
Wine by the bottle
The Ferry building is a terrific meeting spot, being at the intersection of BART, Muni and the Ferry system - which come to think of it, was the point when it was built 125 years ago. That it has one of the best wine bars in the bay area is a surprising treat.
The Wine Merchant in the Ferry Building has a fine selection of by-the-glass wines as well as some yummy local appetizers, but that is not why it is my spot. It also has a very well-thought-out wine store attached and you can select any bottle there and have it at the wine bar for the price of the bottle plus $10. This is an amazing deal if you want a nice French Morgon or an Italian Brunello. One glass of those in a good bar would be $25 a glass or $150 a bottle, but at the Ferry building you can pick from a wide selection of California, French, Italian or other great wines and enjoy quality for a fair deal.
Most decent wine bars have a few great wines you want to try, but you never know how long they have been opened and per glass pricing is rarely reasonable.

You'll sail completely around Alcatraz and then out to sea, pass other boats, and experience the fog rolling into the Bay—a very cool experience.

Trouble Coffee
Coffee with an edge!
"Trouble Coffee" in San Francisco is a category of its own. Let's say it belongs to the 'badass coffee' category. Makes me feel like a rough surfer girl!
