Saison's wine list opens with a note saying it "leans deeply into France while highlighting extraordinary global producers and our neighbors in Northern California." The wine bar's own description calls it a vast list available by the glass, flight or bottle. Plan on reading it before you sit down, then ask for the glass list, because it rotates.
The Burgundy pages include Faiveley's Givry Champ Lalot 2023 at $126 and Domaine Roumier's Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2023 at $2,450, and the whites include Marc Colin and Joseph Colin Puligny-Montrachet. The California side leans on Calera, with Mount Harlan Reed Pinot Noir listed at $252 for 2006 and $270 for 2017, plus Saison's own Santa Cruz Mountains wines, such as the Regan Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020, posted at $80 on the bottle list and $22 a glass or $88 a bottle on the glass menu. If you want something that is not Burgundy, the Rhône section includes Mont-Redon Côtes du Rhône Réserve 2021 at $46. The list is undated in its text, so confirm what is still in the cellar when you order.
The beverage menu is laid out as glass | bottle. You can start with Taittinger Brut at $28 a glass, or splurge on Dom Pérignon 2015 at $75 a glass. Louis Métaireau's Muscadet Petit Mouton 2023 is $13 and Santa Julia's Natural Torrontés 2025 is $13, with Niepoort-Dócil Loureiro at $12. There is also a Rare Pours 3 oz section, for example Chacra Pinot Noir "Cincuenta y Cinco" 2024 at $24. The restaurant says its glasses and flights rotate frequently, sometimes daily, so treat any list as a snapshot.
The Bottom Line
A France-first wine bar list, in the bar's words one that “leans deeply into France,” with glasses that start at $12. Order the $13 Muscadet with oysters or the $16 Chénas with the steak tartare, then pick one Burgundy splurge and confirm availability, since the bar says its glass list rotates.

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.

Fillmore · San Francisco · Indian, Regional
