The Wine section of the Foreign Cinema menus page links one document, a Reserve List marked 9/25/2026. It is a bottle list organized by region, starting with magnums and half bottles and then Champagne, and its legend tags wines as sustainable, organic or biodynamic. Prices are printed as bare numbers, from 40 to 7000, with no currency symbol or size on most lines.
The white section runs through Champagne, Sparkling, Alsace, Jura, the Loire (pages 6-7), Burgundy (pages 8-10), the Rhône, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and California. The reds open with Burgundy (pages 17-21), then cover Beaujolais, the Loire, the Rhône, Italy, Oregon and California Pinot and Cabernet and Bordeaux blends. Examples: Domaine Vouette et Sorbée Extra Brut 'Fidèle' NV at 195, Nicolas Joly's 2017 Clos de Coulée de Serrant at 193, a 2022 Coche-Dury Meursault 'Caillerets' at 2600 and a 2018 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche at 5500. The highest price is a 1.5L 2008 Salon at 7000. The list also notes a corkage fee of $40 per 750ml bottle, $80 for a magnum, with a two-bottle maximum.
The Reserve List has no by-the-glass section. The dinner menu dated Thursday, October 8, 2026 features one wine, Nicolas Joly's 2017 'Clos de la Coulée de Serrant' Savennières, at $25 a glass or $67 a carafe, and mentions no other glass pours. Ask your server what else is open by the glass.
The Bottom Line
A large, region-by-region bottle list from 40 to 7000 with no glass section in the posted PDF. If you want to start low, try the 40 Domaine de Triennes rosé or the 62 Tablas Creek white, ask about glass pours when you sit down, and confirm availability against a list marked 9/25/2026. This unrated guide covers the posted wine 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.
