Uncorked

I finally had a chance to check out Uncorked while out on a first date. The location is within a strip mall and right next to a Mexican restaurant. A nice idea for plans for dinner prior or after. The Service and R&B music were excellent here but my date and I find the wine unimpressive. We decided to order 2 flights, so that we could really give everything a fair chance. Riesling is a favorite of mine so I went with that. I also had Chardonnay (not a favorite), red and something similar to Malbec. I only enjoyed the Riesling. This is a very quaint wine shop, there is not a lot of space or seating but it's perfect for just two.

Had an amazing time learning from and chatting with Chala and Thomas! They have a wealth of knowledge and share it in a way that is palatable. The environment is inviting and the selection of wines is impressive. Looking forward to visiting again soon :)

Great place to go if, like me, you're still figuring out what wines you like, and/or want to try before committing to a full glass. I haven't been to any other place that has these (apparently now very popular) pay by card, vending spouts, so this was a new concept for me. I like it! Even if you prefer a human person to pour your tastes, don't discount Uncorked as the owner and personnel there are quite helpful and friendly. Their offerings are quite diverse and vary in price so there is something for everyone.For eats my husband and I shared a flat bread, a cheese plate and a salad, all of which were fresh and delicious. I particularly enjoy the decor. Uncorked has a warm, Tuscany feel to it. As with many establishments in Raleigh you almost forget you're in a strip mall. But you are, and there's parking and it's easy to get to. I love to come here anytime I want to go to a winery for a tasting but don't have the time for a day trip to Boone or the beach.I'm a fan!

Lovvvveeee the vibe ! Wine was great! Went to their Friday night free wine tasting . Staff was very informative and helpful with ordering. You must order the spinach and artichoke dip along with the warm olives. It pair great with the red wine!

What a wonderful atmosphere and great wine and food. I enjoyed my afternoon. We had a chance to meet the owner as well and enjoy a conversation about wine and life.

A great variety of wines and craft beers on tap. Saturday nights they have live music and a variety of drink specials during the week. The spinach dip is delicious and served with warm naan. Locally owned by people who love what they do. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. The wine variety to buy, to enjoy by the bottle, or to enjoy on tap is very large. All wine drinkers can find something to enjoy. The atmosphere is intimate so it's a great date night or night out for a few friends!

Chala and her staff were awesome! So friendly and such a cozy lovely environment to enjoy wine and kick back. The appetizers were also wonderful. Definitely a hidden gem at North Raleigh.

My girlfriends and I decided to have our last wine down Wednesday's at Uncorked. It's located in the shopping center where Nantucket Grill is, along with 13 Tacos & Tapas. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. There were several other patrons when I arrived. We were celebrating a birthday and I forgot to bring the gift...how perfectly that they have gift bags for wine. I let the owner know and she brought everything to me, I just had to let her know that I wanted a bottle of red. While we waited for everyone else to arrive, we ordered food. We ordered the crab & shrimp dip, two of the flatbreads, the El Jefe & the Pear Brie & Bacon. The dip comes with warm pitas, it was tasty. The flatbeds were really good, especially the El Jefe, we ordered a second one. The combination is something I'd never think to put together, but went together perfectly. Since we were celebrating a birthday we also had the creme brûlée...delicious. The wine!!! So when I arrived, my friend was just getting the red wine flight, she loved each of them. I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, so perfect and smooth. We had the best time & are looking forward to going back at least monthly. It's super cute & there's plenty of seating. The staff is amazing, so friendly and so welcoming. They know their wines, are can help you find whatever you're looking for.

Visited here with girlfriends. PROS: I thought the place was quaint with a diverse wine selection. We each ordered a bottle to drink there, which seemed to puzzle the owner at first. Yes, we're winos and can drink a bottle each. Usually places like this, the food is meh. We tried the Margherita and Italian flatbreads, spinach salad, artichoke and crab dips, all of which were surprisingly tasty. The patio was comfortable and pleasant and to be such a small place, there was enough seating (inside and patio) for the amount of people that showed up. Live music was enjoyable. You kinda forgot you're in a strip mall. CONS: Was glad when more customers showed up as it was kind of awkward with the staff just standing around staring at us. Would also have been nice if it stayed open past 9 pm. I can also see it getting crowded if a decent size crowd showed up.

Soooooooooooooo ..... I was super excited to try this place I came in with all the enthusiasm and optimism in the world.. a black owned wine spot yess!! However I must say I was quite disappointed.. there was one guy who was working (Edgar) so he was struggling which would not have been that bad if his customer service was a bit better .. he wasn't rude just a very matter of fact nonchalant sort of attitude (may have been a cultural thing) Then we ordered the crab dip but they didn't have it.. then we ordered a beer flight and they didn't have one of the beers so my husband ordered another kind of beer for the flight and they didn't have that one either lol I just wanted things to get better but it just never did maybe it was a bad night not sure if they will get a second chance from us but we tried it.
