Cork Wine Bar and Market

Thursday, March 7th at the Embassy & Winemaker Dinner Series

Cork Wine Bar and Market are joining together under one roof in the former Cork Market space to create a unique and innovative wine-centric dining, education and retail experience. Cork Wine Bar and Cork Market & Tasting Room are the creations of Logan Circle residents Diane Gross and Khalid Pitts. Upstairs, our guests can enjoy the classic warmth of Cork Wine Bar. At the wine bar we offer at least 50 wines by the glass and 250 bottles from small producers around the world. It is an affordable, casually elegant place that demystifies the world of wine by giving you real descriptions of what you are drinking, flights of wine so you can explore different regions and varietals, and suggestions for pairing our wines with our offerings of plates to share. The Wine Bar has expanded to offer beautiful patio dining and private dining opportunities for our guests to host wine dinners, receptions and even personalized wine classes and experiences.
