I'll be in San Francisco on Saturday for what's essentially a fundraiser picnic at Golden Gate Park. I have an oenophile friend I'll be visiting in October with a wine celler of more than a thousand bottles, maybe a couple of thousand. Needless to say, my gifts of wine are generally nothing special. I bought "Oldman's Guide to Outsmarting Wine" (bfson's positive review was right on the mark) and one wine he recommends for wine snobs, er, oenphiles, is Gruner Veltliner. Any suggestions for a wine store open late Saturday where I could get a bottle, either in San Francisco or reasonably close to Interstate 80? Any recommendations for which ones to get? To get it locally, I'd have to special order it. I'd just as soon buy it myself, especially if I get a better choice of wines.
