Cotogna's website posts its Vini al Bicchiere list, and that is the part of the wine program this guide covers. It is organized as Spumanti, Bianchi, Arancione, Rosati, Rossi and Vini Dolci, and it reads like a tour of Italian regions, with one California Cabernet and one Champagne mixed in. The page notes the wine list is subject to change.
The posted glass list names producers and regions for every pour: Corte Mainente Garganega from Soave Classico at 22, E. Dottori Collebianco Verdicchio from Marche at 24, Palmento Costanzo Bianco di Sei from Etna at 32, and Cantina Lonardo Contrade di Taurasi Aglianico from Campania at 28. Vincent Couche Eclipsia Brut Champagne NV (38) and Arnot-Roberts Montecillo Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma (40) are the two non-Italian pours. No bottle list is posted on the site, so this guide can't speak to the cellar. Prices are bare numbers under the Vini al Bicchiere heading.
The Vini al Bicchiere list runs from 12 to 40. Most whites and reds sit between 20 and 28: Terraviva CO2 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022 and Marilina Sikele Grecanico (listed under Arancione) are both 20, and Poderi Sanguineto Sangiovese from Toscana is 26. Sparkling goes from Ca' dei Zago Col Fondo at 18 to the Champagne at 38, and the Vini Dolci run from Elio Perrone Moscato d'Asti at 12 to Marco De Bartoli Marsala Superiore Oro at 22. The currency symbol isn't printed on the list.
The Bottom Line
Cotogna's posted glass list is a compact, mostly Italian run that gives you a real reason to order by the glass. Start with the Terraviva Montepulciano at 20, then try the chilled Sergio Arcuri Gaglioppo at 20 to see what Calabria tastes like. The list is marked subject to change and no bottle list is posted, so confirm what's open; the site's corkage note says to email info@cotognasf.com to view current offerings. This unrated guide covers the posted by-the-glass list, not service, storage or markups.
West Portal · San Francisco · Italian wine bar and small plates
A wine-bar list built around Italian bottles, with prices from $41 to $600 on the Wine List page. Start with the Firmino Miotti Breganze Cabernet 2015 at $18/64 from the glass section, or take the Raina Le Campette Montefalco Rosso 2020 at $42 if you want a bottle, and confirm prices since neither page is dated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Fillmore · San Francisco · Indian, Regional
A South Indian dinner menu with two wine PDFs behind it: 17 pours on the glass PDF from 15 to 32, then a bottle PDF that starts with grower Champagne. Start with the chilled Florèz God's Own at 15 or the Aldo Viola Moretto at 17, and confirm both lists, since the PDFs are undated and the website Wines tab names some different producers. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.
Hayes Valley · San Francisco · Wine bar with California/Italian-leaning small plates
A wine-bar list that ranges from Lebanese sparkling and orange wine to Jura bottles and sherry by the 3 or 4 oz. Start with the Pardusco 2024 chilled red at $14 / $56 or the Apátsági 2022 juhfark at $17, and confirm prices, since the page itself points you to the wine wall for more. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks and bottle lists, not service, storage or markups.
North Beach · San Francisco · Italian
A pizzeria wine list with real range: 24 wines under the Glasses heading, Italian reds sorted by region, and New World reds that include Napa and Paso Robles Cabernet. Start with the $10/$40 house Chianti Superiore, or try the $13/$52 Planeta Ceresuolo with a Margherita, and confirm vintages and prices before you order. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Union Square · San Francisco · French
A 66-page list that starts with a 20-pour glass page and moves quickly into Burgundy, Rhône and Bordeaux bottles priced in the hundreds and thousands, so decide early whether you are drinking by the glass or committing to a bottle. Start with the $20 Chablis or the $23 Corsican red, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Potrero Hill · San Francisco · Italian
A list with two speeds: 29 glass pours from $13 to $45, and a bottle book that runs from $44 to $2,100. Start with the $13 Il Frappato or the $18 Vietti Perbacco Nebbiolo, then look at the Etna Rosso bottles (Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2023 is $82) if you want a bottle. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
