The wine and spirits list is a 64-page PDF organized around the I Ching, with wine chapters from Sparkling White to Aged Red. That PDF posts bottle prices only and carries no printed date; glass pours are on the dinner menu, so confirm what is available.
The contents run Sparkling White, Sparkling Rosé, Off-Dry White, Crisp White, Textural White, Rare Varietal White, Orange, Rosé, Light Red, Offbeat Red, Medium-Bodied Red, Bold Red and Aged Red. The Sparkling White section is mostly Champagne, from Tarlant at $140 up to Ulysse Collin 'Les Roises' at $1250, and Bollinger RD '08 at $850. The Off-Dry White pages are deep in German Riesling, with Egon Müller Scharzhof 2022 at $180 and Hexamer 'Quarzit' 2021 at $70. Prices are posted without a unit, and 375ml bottles are marked where they apply. The wine list and the dinner menu post different corkage fees, so ask before you bring a bottle.
The dinner menu PDF (file name dated 06/25/26) has its own Wines by the glass section: sparkling from BxT 'Immersion' at $22 to Flancourt 'Chronique' Champagne at $30, whites including Eva Fricke Riesling 'Verde' at $25 and Denis Race Chablis at $22, and reds from Bodega Cerrón Mourvèdre at $18 to Château Falfas 'Le Chevalier' Bordeaux at $55. There is also a three-wine progression of 3 oz pours for $65. The 64-page wine list itself posts bottles only.
The Bottom Line
Mister Jiu's list is deep in Champagne and German Riesling, and the restaurant pitches its Off-Dry White page at its bold and spicy dishes. Order the 2021 Hexamer Riesling 'Quarzit' at $70 with the Silken Mapo Tofu, then look at the Pierre Frick Gewürztraminer at $105 if the table wants something different. Confirm current availability, since the list is undated. 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.
