Uncorked Truckee

Love this place! We stopped in to do a tasting before dinner at Cottonwood and it was the perfect way to start the night. There were 4 of us and we each did a tasting. You can try 3 wines for $ 10, great deal and generous pours. We also had the cheese plate which was delicious. I forget the girl’s name who was working but she was very friendly and patient with us as we decided which wines we wanted to try.

This place has great vibes and wine. It’s almost like a coffee shop with wine. They don’t have a huge selection of wines by the glass, but the ones they do are great. Be sure and ask for a sample before you choose your glass. Loved the live music when we visited too! Highly recommend you check this place out!

Max and Sarah! Lovely people! The wine and atmosphere were amazing and delicious, only wine place I could find too! I will def be back

Terrible service for a wine bar. Passable service for a dive bar. Wine menu fit for olive garden. Thursday night. Are the bartenders drunk?

great place to hang out and enjoy a glass of vino. or two. or, dammit, a flight of 3. there’s even a delicious, generous cheese/​salami/​crackers platter for nibbs. super sweet (and super attentive) service, comfy seating, and great selection of bottles for the purchasing. given the great bottles, I just wish the by the glass options were a leetle bit nicer.

Such a fun place to go with friends and family! This wine bar has such friendly workers who engage in conversation with you.

Great atmosphere! It’s to bad that they charge a $ 10.00 corkage fee for wine that is purchased in the store. I guess I have been out of the wine business for a while. It’s tough on locals who come in for Wednesday night specials and purchase a $ 28.00 bottle and get a bill for $ 38.00. Yes, the small print on the menu was pointed out only after getting the bill!

I absolutely love the space, music, atmosphere, attention to wine selection, and education of the staff here. Despite my later negative comment, I will definitely be back (at least once or twice to check for improvements).
I love the wine flight/​sampler and think the blind tasting is a great idea. Not sure if you have a specific day you push the blind tasting, but if I was challenged as part of my greeting, I would probably buy it every time.
My main complaint is that I have been there a couple times, sat in the back and received minimal to zero attention. This includes sitting with an empty glass for more than 5 minutes on a slow day. I have run restaurants and paying attention to the guest is 75% of the job. Just say «hi» or «you ready for you next one?», not that difficult. I would have spent (literally) twice as much as I did if someone had come by. I have a great patio at home and can buy a $ 30 bottle and chill there or spend it at your joint… and the deciding factor is if someone will say «hi». Make it happen.

I like this place.
The service is good and selection of vino, at a fair price is nice.

I stopped in to ask the young woman behind the bar for a restaurant recommendation and ended up staying longer to check out this ultra hip place. This gem features a wide variety of some eclectic and boutique wines. I wish I had gotten the name of the woman who helped us as she suggested a super place to eat down the street (Marg’s Taco Bistro) which was a great choice. Very friendly service and cool urban décor. I plan to return to enjoy a flight or two!

$ 10 wine flights? I’ll take ten.

Great place to just hang and relax. The wine selection was very good; the service was awesome. We came twice in 2 days and both times we just chilled.
The 3 tastes for $ 10 is a great way to go since you can have any 3 of the bottle they offer by the glass. And Wednesday night has $ 4 glasses (1 red and 1 white) — ostensibly for ladies night but available to all. Very nice.

I was walking through old town Truckee and was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this jewel of a tasting room. The décor is contemporary, yet holds true to the small old town charm of Truckee.
I took a seat at the bar and was welcomed by both people behind the bar with big smiles and «hello’s». These folks know their wines, what to pair them with, and how to create a great environment for an awesome experience. What was going to be a 20 minute stop for a glass of wine, turned into an afternoon of tasting EXCELLENT wines while chatting with the staff and fellow customers.
No matter where in the world you come from or why you’re in Truckee, you can get GREAT wines from all over the world, as well as some local boutique wineries from all over the state of California. In fact, the day I was there, they had a guest Winemaker from Napa. Nicely done guys, this will be a regular stop!

A lovely shop in the cutest town ever, with a fireplace to stand by and get warm. While I’m not sure they offer many of their best wines by the glass (we tasted I think 6 with one 3-​taste flight each and only one of the wines would I buy), they do have a lovely array, especially for a town of only 20,000 people. There was a lovely Sonoma reserve pinot, the bartenders were nice, and my friend and I had a great, warm time.

Uncorked is always great place to hang out and have a glass (or three) of wine. Their location in Truckee is located right on the main drag, near other shops and restaurants. What I love most about Uncorked is the ambience, the friendly and knowledgable staff, and the fact that you can get a great glass of wine at a great price. Owner Kali is a serious wine guru, and seems to always find the best drop of vino on the market — you won’t find many supermarket brands here, but everything you taste will be GOOD. They now have four locations, which speaks to the success of what Kali has built.

Great place to enjoy a peaceful glass of quality wine in Truckee. This place is part of my «must stops» when up in the Tahoe area. Great wine list and a good artisnal cheese plate (note to owner: please offer some gluten free bread/​cracker options). You can get a flight of three wines for $ 10 or purchase by the glass. They have a good selection of CA wines and some very interesting Old World options as well. The staff is wonderful and pretty knowledgeable about the wines. It’s a welcoming place without any pretentiousness.

You can get a 3-​wine tasting for $ 10:
(I liked the Banshee Mordecai white, and the Torbreck Woodcutter’s Shiraz).
The cheese plate is good:
This wine bar, and the Petra wine bar at Northstar, are under the same ownership, but I recommend this location. The wine bar at Northstar is more expensive, and tends to close early on slow days.

Uncorked is a great place to escape the crowds when they are in town and to relax with friends. I have visited on my own and been entertained by the friendly wine staff and LOVE the cheese plate.
Uncorked gives this little mountain town more of a city feel with ambiance and class.

Uncorked in Truckee was an accidental pleasure for my wife and I as we wandered in to rest our feet and sip a glass of Sauvignon Blanc after an hour or so of boutique shopping in downtown Truckee (not my best sport). Very nice selection of wines from all over the world and reasonably priced. We also noshed on a wonderful cheese plate that hit the spot. But, this was a five star experience because of the wonderfully engaging service from the adorable Molly. We’ll be back and will also try their other locations in Squaw Valley and Tahoe City.
