DECANT Co-founders Simi Grewal and Cara Patricia are the sole buyers for DECANT. No other members of our team have purchasing authority.

DECANT opened its first store in San Francisco on May 1, 2019. Our Napa location opened on October 18, 2024.

If you would like to be considered for our shelves in the future, you may ship or drop off samples with all relevant sales collateral, pricing, and contact information to San Francisco or Napa Valley store.

Our staff will taste all samples blind on a quarterly basis and reach out if your wines are chosen for our shop.

For each wine, send us an email with the following information:

We taste wine blind. This means all suppliers will be asked to come with bottles wrapped in an opaque bag. The only information we want to know while initially tasting is the price, the region, and the varietal/blend. Our goal is to remove any personal bias on producer or reputation and taste primarily for quality and value, ensuring to our customers that every bottle on the shelves is hand picked, vetted, and gives them the best bang for their buck.

WE ONLY ACCEPT WINES FROM SUSTAINABLY FARMED VINEYARDS. Organic and Biodynamic are preferred, but certification is not necessary. We adore natural wine, but we do not like poorly-made, dirty “natty” wine.

Please let us know if the wine is produced by womxn, lgbtq+, and bipoc makers/owners. We are always on the hunt to diversify representation on our shelves.

We also love books and snacks, water and kombucha, tea and chocolate, and shelf-stable gourmet goodies, etc.

If you have a non-alcoholic item you think might be a good fit for the shop, please contact us using our website form and we will get back to you with interest and an appointment.

California law restricts us from reselling any THC or CBD containing products.

We are very interested in pop-ups and collaborations with Wine Country and Bay Area artisans creating consumables or beautiful things!
