Cork! A Wine Bar So Exciting it Comes with its own Exclamation Point
Posted by James on October 3rd, 2008
I feel so transgressive placing an exclamation point smack dab in the middle of a sentence. But here goes. If you’re looking to slake your wine thirst in public, Cork! is a very good place to do so. There. I did it. Still, I feel a little unsure about the punctuation. What is its point? Does Cork! warn about the possibility of errant, airborne champagne stoppers? Is it a command? A new expletive? Whatever the case, reports are coming in that Cork! is a lovely place to spend the evening, sipping wine by the bottle, glass or two-ounce taste and munching on small plates of food. And the friendly staff leaves all pretense at the door. In the sometimes snooty wine world, that is definitely something to shout about.

I’m always up for “slaking my wine thirst”, especially if the staff doesn’t act holier than thou. For me wine is a great experience, but I don’t feel accomplished, pompous or any of the other adjectives that describe wine connoisseurs (even though I’m no wine pro). I just enjoy the taste and simple pleasure from a great glass which sometimes turns into a bottle of wine.
Agreed fully, especially about the glass turning into a bottle part. Thanks for commenting!
Loved Cork! Thank you for the suggestion. We had a great stay at the Murano and a lovely evening at Cork! where everyone was knowledgeable but unpretentious…that’s important for a wine bar!
Good, I’m glad you liked it. Well, I’ve done my good deed for the day. Ha, but thanks for reading!
