> Gratta, meaning "from scratch" in Italian, is truly fitting for this woman-owned winery and market in the Third St. corridor. Although it started out as a hobby in the late 90s, Barbara Gratta fell in love with wine and the wine-making process, from how it's made to when it's bottled and beyond. Soon after Gratta Wines and Market was born. From running out of apartment basements to garages, Gratta Wines has found great success and a loving community here in San Francisco with a tasting room in the Bayview neighborhood where Barbara and her partner reside and produce the wine. Offering a variety of wines and delicious foods, this local spot is a great place for friends and neighbors to enjoy.
