Spotted / Bay Area / Oakland / Ordinaire
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.

Bradford knows his wines. He has created a great place to learn and enjoy them!
Agree! Some wine places really intimidate me. Definitely going back here. – Leslie
Thanks, Leslie! Photos look great. -B
Thanks for letting me play in your shop with my camera (and for that amazing glass of bubbly!) See you soon!

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.
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it:) – Leslie
