Internos Wine Cafe
Warm, generous, and worldly — what more can a girl want from her neighborhood wine bar ... or her guy, for that matter? In a city with its far share of such establishments, Internos (on the border of the Inner Richmond and Laurel Heights) is the one we keep coming back to. Offering sexy faraway swills, like burgundies and barolos, it’s a place for discovering new favorites with knowledgable, unpretentious staff while nibbling on smoky perfumed bites of salumi and bruschetta. Indulge in a bit of sipping, swishing, and maybe some swallowing. In our book, that’s a date with a happy ending.
3240 Geary Boulevard (near Parker Avenue); 415-751-2661.
