Enjoying the wine selection & sunset at Coffee Bar in the Mission

Sampled 3 wines off Coffee Bar‘s well-stocked (if a bit pricey)  by-the-glass wine list — a syrupy, rich, and delicious 2005 Harrison Clarke (Santa Ynez Valley) Grenache — a decadently jammy and well-balanced 2005 Balletto Zinfandel (Russian River Valley), and Balletto’s 2007 Pinot Noir, which was surprisingly complex despite such a smooth, and light consistency. I would happily drink more of all of the wines — though I ended up with a full glass of the Balletto Zin, watching the silhouette of Sutro tower and the Twin Peaks fade against the sunset in reflection on the cafe windows. Wonderful potted cacti and outdoor seating to enjoy as well!
