""We've been looking for a couple years at expanding," Gross says. "We were really focused on going into neighborhoods where Cork regulars live and work, and are raising their families, and have been for years saying, 'Please come, please come.'""
""It's really what we've built our brand on. It was wines that really spoke to us," Gross says of continuing to focus on European wines, even amid new tariffs. "They were wines that were made in the vineyard, not in the winery. They were minimal intervention. The grape was doing the talking.""
Owners Diane Gross and Khalid Pitts opened a smaller Cork Wine Bar in Cleveland Park featuring counter service, a limited kitchen, and a mezzanine tasting room for wine classes and events. The new location emphasizes old-world European wines from France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Austria, and showcases small producers who make organic, biodynamic, and sustainable wines. The venue will offer a weekly rotating selection of about 15 wines by the glass and roughly 350 bottles available to-go or to sip on-site with a $25 corkage fee. The condensed food menu will include cheese, charcuterie, tinned fish, salads, and light bites.
