Amazing wine store, love their wine club and events. So glad this is in my neighborhood!
I have been coming to this store pretty frequently ever since I moved to Logan Circle circa 2017. Cork and Fork establishment has a meticulous selection from many of the prominent old wine regions (From Chianti, Tuscany, Bordeaux, even Georgian) to the new regions from Chile, SA etc. Dominique (or end with c), Anna and Antoinette are subject matter experts in their wine domain. Dominique specializes in champagne in particular and Anna more in the aesthetics and overall structure of anything in the store. So they know their stuff fairly well and if you are someone who needs something within a certain price range of a certain body and age, be sure to ask and you shall receive. Over years, I have loved speaking to them in more detail about wine (considering I am more of a dilettante) and have always been rewarded by what they managed to pull out of shelf on every occasion. I think there was only one such rare occasion that I didn't like what was recommended and Anna later gave me another bottle free of cost which I remember to being decent compared to the former. So I highly recommend Cork and Fork for any wine enthusiasts of any level of matured palate and even if you are on a budget (there is a 4 bottles for $44 special, can't be beat even by the cheapest selection from Joes or Whole foods).
Wine stores can be intimidating places and indeed we avoided this place for ages on that basis until one day stepping inside on a lark. To our happy surprise, what we found was a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable unintimidating staff (it's family run) and -- best of all -- reasonable prices. We've bought all of our wine here ever since.
A diverse & fantastic collection of wine that is well thought out. The family behind the shop hails from France by way of Provence, Champagne, Australia and Virginia wine country. In other words, they know their stuff and if you need bubbles or rosé this should be your first if not only stop! Don't miss out on their tastings and Masterclasses!
The only wine club that's worth your money. Their wine club combines the best aspects of wine: great tasting vino, great education and great people. The wines they send are always high quality, typically a mix of great classics and some rare/new wines to expand your palate. They also hold classes several times a week, which you can attend as part of the club (two tickets per month). Finally their customer service is top notch, both Dominique and Antoinette are very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating. Love their shop.
