Editorial Review for Cork & Co. – by Chip Rankin
In Short
A casually sophisticated venue, it presents a seasonal wine list by the taste, glass, and bottle. A wall of elegantly stored vintages dominates the open room, which is scattered with tables and seating. Weekly classes provide instruction for budding and refined palettes, while sampling events highlight wine families and food pairings. On most evenings, retail-focused shoppers make way as the largely professional clientele in their late 20s to 40s come in for glasses and appetizers.

This place is great, from the wine to the cheese and back! My wife and I are becoming regulars at Cork and make it part of our night when we head downtown. The staff is friendly and always attentive, the atmosphere is cozy but not snobby for the average to novice wine drinker. One thing I like is that ability to sample serveral wines as they offer flights. If you are looking for a great date night this is your place.
Pros: Wine Selection, Price of Wines, Staff
Cons: Not open 24 hours, Just Kidding

I love Cork & Co. They have a great vareity of wines and champange to sample by ordering a flight, or if you know your favorite, you can order a glass. Try the chocolate truffles with a flight of champange. Mmmmm!! The only negative, is it is sometimes hard to find a seat.
Pros: Flights, Chocolate Truffles
Cons: So packed it's hard to find a seat
