Make Saturday an adventure. 🍷🇫🇷🇮🇹

The forecast may be gray, but we're pouring a little European sunshine at Cork.

Join us at one — or make a day of it and visit both — for two Saturday tastings exploring w**es beyond the familiar.

CORK CLEVELAND PARK | 2–5 PM
The Alps to the Adriatic
Three Italian w**es exploring the regional diversity of northern and central Italy.

CORK 14TH STREET | 12–3 PM
France Beyond the Familiar
Hosted by Arielle Monaco of Prestige-Ledroit, with four French w**es traveling from the Alps to Burgundy, Beaujolais and Roussillon.

Seven w**es. Two neighborhoods. Plenty of reasons to get out, browse, shop, eat, wander — and raise a glass.

Make Saturday a Cork Saturday. 🥂

Remember objective truth?
Neither does the algorithm.
Fortunately, Cork's w**e list remains available in print.

🧀 Thursday Cheese Day at Cork!
This week, we’re featuring Comté from France’s Jura region—a cow’s-milk cheese aged 4–10 months, with lovely notes of toasted brown butter, hazelnut and gentle caramel.
Our w**e pairing: Jean-Marc Brocard Kimmeridgien Chardonnay, available by the glass at Cork. 🍷
Stop by the retail counter Thursday and taste the pairing for yourself.

Tuesday Market Day 🍑

We’re loving the Orchard Apricot Spoon Preserves from Girl Meets Dirt.

Made with naturally grown Washington apricots and finished with a subtle almond note, these beautiful preserves are handmade on Orcas Island and are very happy alongside a good cheese board. 🧀

Come find them at Cork — 14th Street + Cleveland Park.
Perfect for your next cheese-and-preserves moment.

W**e in the News

Apparently, w**e needed a celebrity intervention. 🍷 Elizabeth Banks is now a co-owner of a canned-w**e company, helping push the idea that w**e can be less intimidating, more casual and, dare we say, fun.

The celebrity angle makes for a good laugh, but the underlying question is worth thinking about: how does w**e stay relevant as the way people drink—and the occasions in which they drink—continues to change?

The actress, who serves as chief creative officer at canned w**e company Archer Roose W**es, believes the w**e industry needs to take itself less seriously to resonate with more consumers.

All W**e Has a Story

This story is rooted in September 11, 2001.
Karim shares the story behind Le Ciel Vide (“The Empty Sky”), created by w**emaker Jonathan Hesford, whose life changed forever after witnessing the attacks on the World Trade Center.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SIPPING THIS SATURDAY. 🍷🌍

But do you?

This Saturday, we're taking a little trip through the vineyards of Europe—without leaving DC.

At Cork W**e Bar & Market, Chad is pouring four w**es from Vietti that showcase four classic Piedmont grapes: Arneis, Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo. Think of it as a tour through the Langhe and Roero, glass by glass.

At Cork Cleveland Park, Stephen is taking things in a more unexpected direction with three distinctive European grapes: Malvasia from Friuli, Sumoll from Catalonia and Malbec from Cahors.

Two tastings. Seven w**es. Two very different ways to explore w**e.

📍 Cork W**e Bar & Market — Saturday, 12–3 PM
📍 Cork Cleveland Park — Saturday, 2–5 PM

Come curious. Leave with a new favorite.
Sip with us today. 🍷

🧀 Thursday Cheese Day at Cork!

This week’s featured cheese is Abbaye de Belloc 🇫🇷

From France’s French Basque Country, this sheep’s-milk cheese is aged 4–10 months, developing rich notes of toasted brown butter, gentle sweetness, and nuttiness.

For the w**e pairing, we’re reaching for Philémon Jurançon Noir 🍷

Want to take some home? Abbaye de Belloc is available now at Cork’s retail cheese counter. Pick up a piece for your next cheese board, and let us help you find a bottle to pair with it.
