Corkscrew Wine & Cheese

I stopped by here for the first time when out and about in the area. Like their Blackstone location, Corkscrew operates as a bottle shop and relaxing bar/​lounge where you can easily spend a few hours passing the time with friends and good conversation, all the while enjoying the nectar of the gods (also: beer and spirits). Add light bites, naturally including a nice variety of cheeses and meats and you might not ever want to leave.
Corkscrew is a perfect spot to start off a night on the town. Likewise, it’s a great place to head to after dinner when you want to wind down before heading home. Really, it’s a good fit for most any occasion.

Lousy service, 8 people in the whole place 3 of which where employees. Must have been a busy day for them. We were ignored. Won’t go back. I can find a place to have wine, where I can at least get service. Waste of space.

Confession – I’ve never been in the store. I needed to send a case of wine to my brother-​in-​law unit on the occasion of his 80^th birthday.
I never expected it to be as hard as it turned out to be.
I thought I had it all set up last week, but when no one called to get my credit card information, I called to make sure, and it was not happening.
SOoooo. .. I called another store. They were going to get right back with me with prices and avail abilities of my three suggestions. Nothing happened for several hours, thinking they might have written my phone number down wrong. Guy had left until 6PM.
Called another store on my Unilocal list. Dundee couldn’t help me with what I needed, but she sweetly recommended Corkscrew.
Cory at Corkscrew had prices for two of the suggestions, but needed to double check and actually found my first choice after all and at a fair price. Cory got back to me quickly, which this nervous Nelly appreciates.
My five stars is based on the wine actually showing up tomorrow, which I am sure it will.
And I think I’m going to try to make a personal visit next time I am in Omaha.
Edit – The wine showed up as promised and I am a happy camper!

Overall a fantastic place to meet up for a drink and have a light snack. The ambience is perfect: casual but elegant. Plenty of seating choices from high tops to regular tables to a large L-​shaped couch in the corner.
I enjoyed the large selection of wine by the glass (at least 25) and the light snack menu. We ordered the meat and cheese for two and enjoyed it. There was a prosciutto and a salami for meat and they were both rich and complemented our Malbec nicely. We tried three cheeses: the Iowa maytag bleu and double cream Brie were very nice but the cows milk Italian cheese on the plate fell flat. It tasted quite bland, despite the red pepper flakes in it. They also have decent beers for those not so fond of wine. Our group enjoyed a Zipline and Deschutes.
Prices were decent, but the service wasn’t excellent. It started it well enough when there were only a few tables taken up but the busier it got, the more our service suffered.

Blackstone branch is very cute and good selection of wine. Customer service needs improvement. Waitress did not remember my order and said she forgot and came back in an off handed way and said, what was that again you wanted. When I asked if the rooms the back was «free», that is we could sit there if no one had reserved it, she said that nothing is free in a condescending and sarcastic manner. Totally uncalled for. Please train staff so all people are treated properly.

Best staff ever. Amazing wines and cheeses. Excellent variety and outside dining most enjoyable.

We used Corkscrew Wine & Cheese to host my sister’s baby shower and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Corkscrew was very accommodating and allowed us to bring in our own decorations and desserts. We ordered the cheese and fruit tray, both which were delicious. They also had a nice wine selection to accommodate our French theme. Kudos to our server, Willy! He helped us rearrange tables and was fantastic to work with!

My husband and I stopped here for a late afternoon snack. We both had a glass of wine and shared a cheese/​jelly crostini plate. The food was tasty and the server was pleasant. The downside is the location — sitting on the little patio overlooking a busy street didn’t fit with the relaxing vibe we wanted.

When my sister told me she planned to invite almost 40 people to her bridal shower, I was stuck with the daunting task of finding a place that would be both intimate and comfortable for such a large group. After spending a couple of great nights here having some wine with friends, I decided it would be the perfect fit. I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out! The space is great for parties of any size. The staff struck a perfect balance between being extremely helpful and attentive, yet giving us plenty of space to enjoy the day. Everyone raved about the cheese plate and the wine suggestions were perfect. The price for both food and wine is extremely reasonable compared to other places in town. It’s a really nice atmosphere with an adorable outdoor patio. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a laid-​back spot to host a shower, or just looking for a place to relax with some friends. I am extremely grateful to everyone at Corkscrew for taking the stress out of hosting and helping to make an unforgettable day for my sister!

They have a great selection of wines available for both drinking and purchasing. I wish they had more indoor seating though. At times if there are groups there is no where to sit. However in when the weather is nice their patio is unbeatable. We have also had the antipasti plates and dessert and were very happy with the items we ordered. We got married on the large patio next to the corkscrew patio and it was a great casual venue.

What a fantastic place. I’ve been here many times and the service is always impeccable. The wine selection is great, ranging from $ 15 and up per bottle so you don’t need to spend a lot, but you can definitely find something perfect for any occasion. Final note: Get. The. Cheese. Plate. Best in town!

This has become one of my favorite place to go for a class of wine. I had their flight of pinot noirs, and it was amazing. They have one of the best patios in Omaha.

They change the wine menu monthly– so be sure to go
Monthly to try different wines! The smoked salmon tray is awesome! You can buy bread to go! I always have pleasant experiences here. Justin is super helpful with my «wine to go» needs the other day. Enjoyed that Newton Chardonney! Staff is always super helpful. Patio has been expanded!

Not sure why I have never thought to go here. Maybe I thought it would be a bit beyond my knowledge. I was invited here for a work meeting and loved the space, the service was fantastic and in no way were you looked down upon for your lack of knowledge about certain wines, and cheeses. The two Pinot’s that were picked out for us were just what we had hoped for and discussed and the cheese plate was delicious. I will definitely consider going here more, even on more casual occasions.

Cut off sweat pants with paint splatters. Ribbed tank top with dirt smudges. Hair back in a more than messy pony (or two or three). That’s my normal attire when popping into Corkscrew to pick up a bottle or two of wine. My neighborhood bottle shop, prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and the selection covers a wide range of price points. I like that you can describe your flavor profile (and price point) and they’re pretty spot on with wine recommendations. I tend to zip in and out, looking disheveled and questionable, so it’s a rare occasion that I actually hang out at this establishment.
The décor is clean and open. Choose from one of the plush seating areas, table/​chair arrangements or chill out at the bar. Buy wine by the glass or by the case… er, I mean bottle. During nice weather months, the patio with fireplace is a nice option, especially for dog owners who want to bring their four-​legged friends to Yappy Hour. Food items are limited but artfully displayed.
I should probs just stick with the bottle shop concept. Not just because I love sweatpants, but because «let’s meet up for a glass of wine» turns into «let’s mortgage our houses to pay for our bill» type of situation. A frequent flier program for wine consumption… that would boost this joint to five stars for sure.

I thought the place looked very cozy. Upscale.
The service was very nice.
Not THAT much seating… but a sufficent amount.
The wine selection is great.
I know nothing about alcohol. I rarely drink… so I simply told the server— what I like in a wine… and they found the PERFECT wine for me! I really enjoyed it!
Did not eat any wine and cheeses… just sipped wine and chatted.
The seating was very comfortable.

I had been wanting to go to the Corkscew for a long time, and when they showed up on the
deals, I knew it was a sign! My husband and I went in last night and had a wonderful experience on the patio. Upon arrival, you can either select a glass/​bottle of wine from their menu or select any bottle in their retail shop. I enjoyed this option, so I could look over the bottles and price points to make a good solid decision. Bottles priced less than 25, are subject to a 5.00 corking fee (NBD and pretty standard). My husband and I selected a great Pinot Noir for 14.99, but prices range from 10.00 and up. We ordered their meat and cheese tray for two, delish! The cheeses change daily, so each trip can be a new experience. We had bleu cheese in a honey reduction, a soft cheese (cant remember the name), and a cashew butter cheese with a balsamic vinegarette reduction. The cheese came with Marcona almonds and warm crusty french bread. The meat tray consisted of Proscutto and another cured Italian meat. We sat on the patio, but the inside area is quite inviting as well.
There is a fireplace on the patio, and I can definately see myself enjoying a good bottle this fall on a cooler evening!
The staff was friendly, helpful and not at all pretentious. The atmosphere is definately romantic, and very relaxing! You won’t be disappointed.

We went to Corkscrew because it was a member of Pinpoint and lately we’ve been on the hunt for meat and cheese plates. When we walked in, it was very light and open. It wasn’t nice enough to sit on the patio, but it looks like a cozy spot for a future visit.
We were greeted immediately. Our server let us pick out a table and asked us if we had been there before. We hadn’t and she went over all of the basic information that we needed to know. She was extremely personable and it really added to our experience. We had the meat and cheese plate and although it was a pretty basic assortment, it was good and reasonably priced. The bread was served warm and it was delicious. They have a large wine selection both on the menu, but also within the store if you want to select something else. My fiancé actually had beer with his food, whereas I stuck with wine.
We’ll definitely be back. And we love that they are a member of Pinpoint!

I had a little gathering for about 8 people last evening and it was lovely. The hosts took great care of our group. I had placed a special food order for the event and all the food was fresh and great tasting. Amazing selections of cheese. meats and fresh fruits. I would suggest placing an order for the sliders very good especially if you add a little blue cheese to the bun. My boss was in visiting from California and he was very impressed with the selection and price of the wines offered.
Great job I’d definitely recommend this for a team outing.

Recently we spent some time drinking wine and snacking on meat, cheese and bread on a Sunday afternoon. Had the weather been a little less blustery the patio would have been a nice option, but we were still comfortable indoors.
Bottles under $ 25 incur a $ 5 corking fee, if enjoyed on site (I think that was it). Overall a pretty good time.
