Corkbuzz opened its doors in Charlotte June 15 and is the third venture of Master Sommelier Laura Maniec. With two locations in New York City, Corkbuzz has created a lively and welcoming environment with a focus around wine and bringing people together. Food and wine pairings are an integral part of the experience at Corkbuzz. Chef Allen Evans crafts menus for lunch, brunch, dinner, winemaker events, private events, and interactive classes. Corkbuzz menus are based on a blend of European and American cuisine with a focus on fun, wine-friendly flavors. We believe in enjoying and talking about wine in a way that makes everyone feel welcome and never intimidated. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, we want you to mingle, drink, laugh and indulge.
