Some people have a real passion for what
they do, and there's no question Ray Bair, the former
director
of cheese, wine, and specialty foods for Whole Foods Market,
loves wine and
cheese. Along with a huge selection of takeout cheeses, they offer
sandwiches and other delectables. They also offer $60 wine and cheese
pairings on a fairly regular basis, a little fun and education.

Jeanne
D’Arc
715 Bush Street (Cornell Hotel de France)
San Francisco,
CA 94108 415-421

Jeanne D’Arc is a typical Paris bistro found in the heart of San
Francisco's Nob Hill. The
food is home-style Parisian including lamb shanks, duck confit, and
other bistro treats. But best of all is their fixed-price four course
menu for about $30. Even better is their wine list and markups. We
enjoyed a half bottle of
Veuve Clicquot
Champagne for $25 and a half bottle of 2000
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru,
for only $18.00. The food exceeded our expectations, and the wines
were outstanding. Another great thing about this restaurant is being
able to take the Powell cable car, exiting at Bush, and walk to this
restaurant in about three minutes. Why drink and drive? A recommended
restaurant. Dinner for two is about $110 with top wines - and a lot
less if you don't drink - but that's no fun.

San Francisco, CA 94108

Masa's,
located in the Executive Hotel Vintage Court, is quickly becoming a
San Francisco dining landmark. Chef Gregory Short worked as Chef de
Partie and Sous Chef under Thomas Keller at The French Laundry for
seven years and
as Chef de Cuisine at Montage Resort and
Spa in Laguna Beach before taking over at the kitchen in
Masa's. George is on his way to becoming one of California's, (and the
world's) best chefs. The restaurant offers a three course fixed price
for $69, four course for $83, six course for $90 and nine course for
$120. They also offer an excellent six courses vegetarian menu. We
recommend choosing the nine course tasting menu, unless of course your
a vegan. Either way, you will probably be very happy. Over $300 with
wine for two.
