Spotted / Bay Area / Oakland / Ordinaire

October 9, 2013

Just discovered this brand new wine bar and wine shop a couple of weekends ago while having brunch in Oakland’s Grand Lake area. They offer a great variety of both local and European wines by the bottle, as well as by the glass and on tap. And you can order cheese and charcuterie to nibble on, too. I especially love the warm and open feeling of the space—it’s easy to browse through their selections and prices + there are a number of cozy seating areas you can tuck into. Owner, Bradford, is really welcoming and helped a novice like me pick out the perfect wine for a gathering I attended later that day.

I’ve passed this place several times but never stepped in. From your pictures of the wine selection, it seems like somewhere I’d like to try. Great post.
