Pop some bubbly with Lilbert -Fils Grand Cru Brut. Nibble on sublime Savor Patisserie Macarons and 24 carat edible gold champagne marshmallows.

Nicolas Vahé Collection Available at CORK

Turn the everyday into extraordinary with Nicolas Vahé gourmet products, now available at CORK. From sweet to savory, treat yourself to something special.

Nicolas Vahé is the Frenchman behind the eponymous brand. As a chef, Nicolas worked at the famous restaurant Pic Valence, a French 3-star Michelin restaurant. Vahé also trained as a chocolatier at Daniel Giraud Valence, often celebrated in France as the best chocolatier. In 2000 his entrepreneurial spirit took him to Denmark, where he began producing chopping boards, cutlery and kitchen accessories. Two decades later, Nicolas Vahé is a powerhouse brand that produces furniture, home goods, and yes, delicious artisanal pantry items.

CORK offers highlights of Vahé’s line of gourmet goods – fruit spreads, including Damson Plum-Walnut-Apple, Apple-Lemon-Ginger, Mango-Passion Fruit, and Fig; Blueberry Syrup and Coffee-Caramel Syrup; San Marzano Ketchup; Balsamico di Modena; and savory spreads, perfect for your cheese board, including Whole Grain Mustard with Honey, Artichoke-Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta, Black Olive-Basil Tapenade, and Tomato-Apple-Chili Chutney.

Yes you CAN! Canned Wines & Spritzes at CORK

Sometimes you just want less of a commitment than a full bottle. Enter: cans. From rosé to negronis, a can is a convenient and fun way to enjoy a personal sized potable. Our lineup of can options has expanded – stop in to pick one (or all) up or reserve online for pick up!

RAMONA CANNED WINE & SPRITZES
Founded by Jordan Salcito, a 5-time James Beard Award semi-finalist and former Wine & Beverage Director for David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants, Ramona is a line of organic, low-alcohol, and easy-drinking wines and spritzes. CORK currently offers Ramona’s Sparkling Rosé and Meyer Lemon Spritz, both available as 4-packs.

RUZA CANNED ROSE
Ruza unites craft winemaking with the format of the moment: the can. Abundant raspberry, cherry, and strawberry on the nose meets peppy brightness and a dry finish for a cool, contemporary rosé. Oh, and one more thing: it’s slightly spritzy on the palate. Chill, pop, repeat.

PAMPELONNE NEGRONI SBAGLIATO
It begins with fine French wine. The wine is then complemented with fresh, natural ingredients. No preservatives are added. With keen interest for lively acidity and freshness, this wine cocktail is crafted with brightness and balance in mind. This is a spritz version of the classic Negroni. The Pampelonne Sbagliato kicks off with a bright refreshing taste of bood orange that’s anchored by Italian bitters followed by a kiss of marzipan-like almond finish.

SERA LUCE
Inspired by an Italian classic, Sera Luce Venetian Spritz awakens your palate with the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Infused with Valencia orange, a bouquet of bitter and savory herbs, and other traditional botanicals, this bubbly wine cocktail invites you to slow down and savor La Dolce Vita!

HELLA SPRITZ AROMATIC
Using our Hella Aromatic Bitters as the base, Spritz Aromatic is bubbly and refreshing with notes of clove, allspice, bitter root, and orange peel. It’s drinkable straight from the can and makes for a pretty nice alternative to an alcoholic beverage with its bitter, dry flavor and a touch of sweetness. As a cocktail mixer, Spritz Aromatic is a one-step cocktail ingredient that drinks like an effervescent non-alcoholic Negroni and feels equally capable of dressing down a Provence Rosé Spritz as it does mingling with the brooding oak of Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

HELLA DRY AROMATIC
Dry Aromatic is boldly unsweetened with notes of clove, allspice, bitter root and orange peel. Dry Aromatic contains no sugar (10 calories) and enough Aromatic bitters to impart a crisp and, at the risk of sounding redundant, dry flavor profile that feels just right day or night.
