At Uncorked, we aim to share wonderful wines and good times!
Whether it's enjoying a flight of wines on one of our outdoor patios in either Manhattan or Hermosa Beach as the soft, warm wind of another epic beach day caresses your face or sampling wine inside at one of our two cozy tasting rooms, we're here to make sure your wine experience is a memorable one.
Our classic flight ($20) consists of four wines you choose from a list of eight- (typically 4 whites and 4 reds), although we may include sparkling wine or some other interesting choice (ie orange wine).
Additionally, both shops offer a premium tasting typically consisting of wines ranging in price from $50-$150 ($40/ flight of three wines).
At times, we'll also have an additional special tasting list, for instance, an all-bubbly list over the Valentine's Day weekend or wines being poured by a winemaker from their winery (see our events page for a list of these events).
We look forward to seeing you. Cheers!

2. Milziade Antano Sagrantino di Montefalco
2017 Montefalco, Marche, Italy (Sagrantino, Sangiovese)
Under the shadow of the Tuscan hills hides a beautiful, still under-recognized region known as Umbria. From this area, we have acquired a great traditionalist producer named Milziade Antano. Planted since 1975, the family's vines are planted with Sagrantino (a tannic red grape that is native to Umbria) and Sangiovese on clay soils that are rich in minerals. Aromas of black plum, fig, tobacco, leather, and licorice rest on a background of forest floor, with just a kiss of old oak. Dry, robust, and persistent. $59.99/btl
3. Levendi Sweetwater Cabernet Sauvignon
2019 Napa Valley
Violet color, inviting herbal aroma, and flavors of spiced coffee, birria, marinated olives, and peppers, and braised corn and sweet potato with a satiny, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a warming, complex, long finish with nuances of artisan chocolate, spiced dried berries, toffee, and eucalyptus honey with fine tannins and moderate oak flavor. A meaty, spicy, and complex Napa Cabernet to savor. $68.99/btl

3. Adamus Cabernet Sauvignon
2018 Howell Mountain Napa Valley
On the nose, this wine is complex with notes of fresh bramble, sage, cigar box, rhubarb, raw cacao, and ferrous earth. The mouthfeel is dense and reminiscent of crushed velvet soaked in blackberry juice - all this persists through the long, silken finish. $159.99/btl
