All of the businesses that participated were pretty great and the concept is cool and we just thought it was a great place to check out. One of the places I returned to was The Austin Winery. They were super busy the night of the Yelp event yet took the time with each of us to explain the different wines they offer. In doing so, we never felt rushed nor did it seem we had to wait long. I wanted to return for that reason and to try more of their offerings. We were not disappointed. They were busy when we took our friend but we were still able to experience the same great service and same great beverages. We had a bottle of Ocho from Salt Lick Vineyards, made with grapes from Texas Hill Country. What a delightfully refreshing and flavorful bottle to share on a sunny and mild Sunday afternoon with friends.

I ended up trying the Frose which could have been mixed a little more, the wine was definitely separated out at the bottom. The charcuterie board was a little disappointing, one of those pre-made trays that were reminiscent of those buy on board boxes you'd get on airplanes. The inside was definitely IG/TT friendly, brightly colored, neon signs, like an influencers dream but on an early weekday afternoon it was quiet.

The other bartender was great, but clearly overwhelmed. That would be the one downside. The bar is very small and limited in how fast they can service. Their wine selection was good. We did have a friend looking for a white wine that they did not have. Not that they ran out, they didn't have it altogether. That is surprising for a wine forward spot.

All the wines are made from 100% Texas grown grapes by a Texas native, Randy Hester (from Houston maybe?), who started as an intern at Cakebread Cellars in Napa. You can order by the glass or opt for a tasting. They do a great job catering to your palette and will customize the tasting most of the time. If you're driving to Fredericksburg or Georgetown for your wine membership pick ups, I highly recommend going in for a tasting here. I'd be surprised if you didn't decide to switch. They also have great member events pretty regularly. The atmosphere inside is very relaxed. It's like a little cool oasis (especially during the summer). Really, besides the wine, which speaks for itself, the staff make this place. They're knowledgeable and they all are pretty passionate about the wine. Parking is easy most days and the Yard offers some options for food that you can have brought in to you (or you can grab and bring in) or order a cheese board with your wine. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

I wanted to get this for my book club soiree, but did not have time to make a visit as it is a little north of downtown. Antonelli's Cheese Shop is charming and quaint. While the shop is small they have an assortment of items to sell in addition to cheese - wine, sauces, jellies, etc. I was immediately greeted upon entry into Antonelli's cheese shop. Two other customers were being helped, however, I had a store associate offer me some cheese samples. While the samples were good, I was specifically interested in the three cream cheese. They had two choices to select from. I was hoping they had more. This is a shop you need to spend some time in to leisurely evaluate the cheeses. There was also a human size dog in the shop at the time. I don't know what is about dogs, they like to lick me. Guess what...I do not like to be licked. So, I jetted out of the store.

They have wine, jams/jelly/preserves. Chocolates, and olives. They also have premade charcuterie boards too. When I came, they were giving away free cheese everyday of the week. The first 100 people that were in line. Free cheese? Yes please. As you can imagine, there was a long line of people waiting, and with the store being small, we were sent in in small groups. Couple people come out, couple people go in. As the line shortens and you get to the counter. You're given your free cheese, and asked what type of cheese you like. I gave my favorites, soft cheese, like brie, hard cheese, like manchego I like spicy cheese like hatched chili cheese or a jalapeño cheese. So after giving some examples of cheese that I like the gentleman helping me brought out three different samples and we tried them together and loved every one of them so I chose which ones I liked out of the three and then we moved down the counter a little bit, and the gentleman brought out another selection of three cheeses, and I tried those and told him which ones I liked, and they were all phenomenal. The gentleman that helped me was very attentive. He listened. he gave examples exactly what I was asking for and it was absolutely beautiful experience. even though they were packed and crazy and had 100 people waiting outside. He just treated me like we were just one on one. He took his time with me. I thought it was such a spectacular experience very personable. I walked out with 5 different cheeses. A bar of orange chocolate with dried cherries. And a baguette. And let me tell you, I ate so good during our Texas ice storm 2026! So here's the down side. Parking. There are like 8 parking spots in front. And a couple parking in the back. But beyond the back, there is a small pay with a QR code parking. It's a bit of a struggle as far as parking goes. There is no street parking. But I'm sure when you're not dealing with 100 customers it's not as much of a struggle. There are 2 accessible parking spots out front. Had a great experience. And will come back again.

My only qualm here is the parking (but to be honest, this is an issue for most places in Austin, so this is not specific to Cork & Screw). There is street parking in the neighborhood nearby, and a small lot around the corner, but this always fills up. All in all, definitely one of my ATX favorites!
