I was invited to Corkbuzz by Black Girls Dine Too for an impromptu meetup with fellow Instagram followers and wine lovers to celebrate Black History Month. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience. The atmosphere is well-curated and the music is modern and urban (whatever that means). Pairing fine wines, delicious cheeses and charcuterie, and hip hop makes for an interesting experience for younger wine lovers, but, except for our table, there was otherwise no diversity to be seen on a Friday night (my reason for docking half a star). Also, this establishment, while classy, is not upscale, but the prices are on the higher end of the casual dining scale, considering. 6 of us split a $480 bill, but we had our fill of wines and cheese for about 3 hours. Some items were reduced to half off after 9, as well, so that helped alot. Our server, Ryan, was well-educated on our wines and attentive to our needs. He introduced me to a gorgeous 13 year old Reisling from Austria. We had fun and I would definitely consider returning again.
