What we’re about
Have you ever felt lost in a wine shop or wished you could banter with a sommelier at a restaurant? Do you want to not only enjoy wine but learn more about it. This group is for all wine lovers, from the novice to the expert. The only requirement to join is a love of wine. Types of events could be exploratory wine tasting where we compare different or unique wine styles, blind tastings, visits to local restaurants and wineries (when it is safe to do so), and general get-togethers to drink and talk wine.
While there are no dues to join, some events might require a cost to attend. For example, if we do an exploratory wine tasting of orange/amber wine then costs will be split among attendees. Similarly, events at restaurants and visits to wineries might require an additional cost to attend.
This group is not affiliated with any brand or business.

It's baaaaack! Barcelona Wine Bar on 14th street is once again hosting one of their fabulous UNCORKED events on Monday September 1st at 5PM. Many of our members rave about this event and always ask when the next one will take place. Please see the details about the event below.
For this UNCORKED, we’re opening the bottles we can’t stop thinking about: the effervescent, the chillable, the crushable. From zippy Basque Txakoli to bright Cava bubbles, each one screams summer heat and spontaneous patio hangouts.
Additionally, fresh off the heels of winning Best Organic Wine List in North America from The World of Fine Wine, every bottle we’re pouring will be organic.
UNCORKED is our walk-around tasting party where we open 30 wines from our cellar—your chance to “try the list” from our award-winning wine program. The wines are accompanied by Chef’s seasonal paella and passed tapas.
