This is a great place to store wines in a historically rich bunker! Someone I know raves about it and so I decided to try it out. You don't need to be a large collector as they have some small units available. Don't tell your friends as space is limited.
Here we are, sitting at a little table in the sun. It's about 65, beautiful blue sky, and the trees are swaying gently in the breeze. On the table in front of us is a 1998 BV Tapestry, which I have to say is tasting quite fine. Beyond the table is an old communications shack, behind us is wh ...Moreat used to be a artillery munitions bunker, right next to where some big 12" guns batteries used to sit. It's all a little surreal. This is the Presidio Wine Bunker experience. A wise Greek fellow came up with the idea of using this facility to store wine and in the end has created a nice little facility. While we now live in the East Bay, my collection still rests here - partly to keep me from pulling a 95 Caymus Special Reserve when I am already past the point of knowing the difference, but mainly as an excuse to come out here once every month. They have maintained the facility's character, even restoring the lighting system to the original style. This is required by the Presidio Trust to preserve the character of the area. They have a history room with a table to sit at and open a bottle or two as well as pictures on the wall of what the place has looked like over the years. The staff there is friendly and helpful. The storage units are reasonably priced. And if you don't raise a ruckus, you and a couple of friends can come by, pull a bottle or two out of you "bunker" and enjoy the atmosphere. This is not a tourist site. So if you pull in with the intention of simply looking around, be prepared to get slightly grilled by the staff. They are responsible for maintaining and protecting the wine stored here. So they act accordingly. Also, I think they are completely filled, so don't bet on storing your wine there too unless something opens up. That's why they don't really advertise, no more room so no reason to.

Due to problems with people getting out of hand and neighbors complaining, they no longer allow small gatherings here. Bummer, because this was a great spot to hang for an hour or two with some cheese, fruit, and wonderful wine.
This is the perfect spot for wine storage. Naturally cooled and just a great place to visit and have a bottle of wine as you're loading or pulling your stash.
I've stored my wine/spirits at Presidio Wine Bunkers since 2006 and I've always been a fan of the place. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that you can't pop bottles and have a few guests to enjoy the outdoor space. Apparently some person abused the privilege a long time ago and they ba ...Morenned it...boo. That said, it's a great place for collectors because the limited hours really make you have to plan in advance. Btw, the hours are Mon-Sat (9am-5pm). The pricing is also quite fair by SF standards. Pretty sure there's a waitlist but give em a buzz to confirm.
