Staff
Steven Sherman
Steven has been in the wine industry for over 25 years and purchased William Cross in 2001. A graduate of University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Steven started his career at Club XIX at The Lodge at Pebble Beach in 1991. Not in love with the hours of restaurants, he took a year sabbatical to travel around Europe and the US. Realizing wine was his passion, he took a job at Whole Foods Market in Los Gatos as the Wine Buyer. When the flagship store was to open in SF, he moved his talents north and opened the Franklin Store.
After almost 5 years at Whole Food and the corporate noose starting to constrict, it was time to focus on premium wines and moved on to Coit Liquor, one of the premiere wine shops in SF at the time, as Fine Wine Sales Manager. In 2001, the opportunity opened up for him to own his own store and has been at it ever since. The store prides itself on all the wines to be hand selected, with Steven and his staff tasting almost 10,000 wines a year.
