Little Vine

Little Vine is the kind of provisions shop every neighborhood covets. Stocked, European-style, with cheese, chocolate, charcuterie and—most importantly—wine, the tiny place operates as the essential corner store for last-minute dinner parties and cocktail hour spreads. The store also offers killer sandwiches that rotate daily and act as the perfect browsing food while gathering essentials. Owners Jay Esopenko and Melissa Gugni also own Union Larder in Russian Hill, a sort of larger version of Little Vine.
