Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Cork It pairs a serious, globe-trotting wine list with charcuterie boards and a wine club that delivers three bottles monthly. The wine cocktail flights add a playful twist, though the rest of the beverage menu stays conventional. A reliable stop for wine drinkers who want both breadth and a place to sit with it.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Executive wine flight ($50) for a curated tour of premium pours, or the Sparkling flight ($30) for a bubbly spread. If you're after a single glass, the Devaux Champagne at $70 is a splurge, while the Mount Marcal Cava at $34 offers value. For beer, Delirium Tremens is a solid Belgian pick.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive list and the wine club's monthly selections. Couples and small groups looking for a cozy spot with charcuterie will find it welcoming. Those seeking craft cocktails beyond wine-based flights may feel limited.
- When should I go?
- Evenings are ideal for wine flights and charcuterie, especially during the month-end wine club tasting. Weekday afternoons might be quieter for a more relaxed pour.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine by the glass runs $11 to $70; flights range from $25 to $50. Beer is $6 to $9 a bottle, with pitchers at $25. Wine club membership costs $65 per month.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The wine club is a standout, offering three new bottles monthly plus a tasting event. The reserve list includes heavy hitters like Cristal, Opus One, and Chateau Petrus, making it a destination for special-occasion pours.
