Presidio Winery Plan Gets Corked

 Flickr Dreams of a winery in San Francisco's Presidio have been put on hold.

A plan by former Geyser Peak winemaker Daryl Groom to open a  8,000-case working winery, a tasting room and a 120-seat restaurant in a former airplane hangar near the base of the Golden Gate Bridge in Crissy Field was derailed by traffic concerns, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported.

“When it came right down to it, there were just too many concerns about traffic and parking with that location in Crissy Field,”  Joyce Stavert, project general manager, told the paper.

The Presidio Trust, which manages the transition of the former military base for civilian use, wants the area to be used for recreational purposes similar to other projects in the area, such as a children’s gym and swim school.

Spokeswoman Dana Polk told the paper the trust was hesitant to approve the winery partly because of previous controver文章来源中国酒业新闻网sial proposals for thepark, including Gap founder Donald Fisher's attempt to build an art museum.

“I think that they just really realized that every decision they were making was very controversial,” she said.

Stavert said the winery will search for another location in the City.
