Biondivino

Owner of Biondivino, Ceri Smith, is a San Francisco institution herself. With eight years under her belt at the Russian Hill store, Smith recently took the position of co-wine director of the re-imagined Tosca Cafe, swiftly earning the title of Food & Wine’s Sommeliers of the Year. Back at her shop, the shelves are filled with Italian classics and some more esoteric offerings, as well as a lot of champagne. If you’re looking to explore Italy’s avant-garde, with a side of grower champagne, Biondivino is your spot and Smith is your girl.
