It is with sadness, but also a great deal of pride in all we’ve accomplished, that minimo will close on April 5th. minimo opened in 2015 as an inclusive gathering space where people–all people–were welcomed to enjoy and learn about natural wine without pretense. It’s deeply heartwarming to see how a community has taken shape here.

From the outset, we sought to be stewards of the wines represented in the shop, sharing the stories behind them through weekly tastings and winemaker events. We showcased the breadth of natural wine from the Bay Area to the Republic of Georgia. But perhaps we’re most proud of supporting up-and-coming winemakers–and especially the women, BIPOC, and queer winemakers who still find themselves underrepresented in the industry. minimo didn’t just sell wine; it was a platform for supporting causes dear to us.

We’re especially grateful for the amazing people who’ve worked at minimo over the years, and who’ve become family. We thank them wholeheartedly for sharing their expertise and embodying our vision with so much care, warmth, and enthusiasm.

Running an independent business is not independent at all. Thank you to all the chefs who popped up at minimo, the makers who supplied us with small-batch confections, the artists who brought inspiration to our space, the organizations who partnered with us on countless events. Thank you to our enthusiastic neighborhood residents, fellow businesses who shared resources and counsel, and a fantastic Ambassador program and BID.

Thank you for letting us select the bottles, week after week, that not only complemented your dinners and made you look cool at parties, but also supported an ecosystem of small producers around the world who treat farming as a calling and winemaking as a sacred craft. Thank you for showing up, for your friendship, and trust in us. It’s been a wonderful journey, taken together.
