Save Me San Francisco is a collaboration between Gestalt and Pat Monahan of Train. Pat and Train have long been involved with wine, and are clearly passionate about it. When we were tasting samples and talking about prospective blends, Pat’s insights and palate were crucial to what would become Save Me San Francisco.
Save Me San Francisco is a 2023 Cabernet based blend from Napa and Sonoma counties. It has a classic Cabernet tannin profile, a nice compressed density to it, a dark berry fruit flavor profile, and some light spice on the finish. It’s a liquid reminder that we are all rockstars in our own ways, and it’s those small human moments we spend together that really matter. Hope you enjoy the wine and the moments, and keep rockin’!
about our drops
Each quarterly drop is purpose-made for our members around the theme of the release, and will differ every quarter. With each shipment, you will receive the equivalent of 6 bottles, which may be 6 bottles of the same wine, or a combination of different wines. The theme and wines will change from quarter to quarter, but will always be thoughtfully made and produced exclusively for our members. The wine may be white, red, rosé, sparkling, or a combination of those, but will always be delicious. If you particularly love a wine in the release, as a member you may purchase additional bottles through the GESTALT website. Over time, we will introduce additional wines available to everyone, with members enjoying a significant pricing discount.

For almost 15 years, Train has been involved in making wine that is sourced and made in Northern California. My obsession with wine and my even deeper passion for contributing to Family House, an incredible place that houses and cares for so many very sick children and their families, has truly made it all a labor of love.We have recently partnered with our friends Sebastian Lane and Dave Phinney at Gestalt Winery to continue this beautiful combination of incredible wine and giving back to our home of San Francisco.
