Chris has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine and is unpretentious and informative. Wine tastings are small, casual gatherings where you meet new, interesting people. read more

Unique and affordable choices! Thursday tasting experience was fun. Excited to go again

Great little neighborhood wine shop with a quality selection of wine (all prices), spirits and gifts. Insider tip - buy a case, pay with a check or debit card and get 25 % off! I think the case with credit card is still 20 % off but I always come prepared. I love not having to deal with a big box store and supporting local. Chris is the owner and very nice. I wouldn't say he's the most talkative so you're not going to get a long drawn out description of a wine but don't let that fool you...the dude knows his wine! He travels all over the world learning and tasting wine. With the case discount I'm convinced his prices are the best in town! And DO NOT ASK if they carry Blantons - they don't! And I think he gets sick of the question. Definitely support this shop!! You won't be sorry. read more

Chris has the best wines. If not in the shop he will order for you.Always learn something when looking for a new wine. He knows my tastes well and can choose a new one for me. Has several monthly clubs that always deliver new tastes. read more

Since moving back to the USA over 12 years ago, Chris Keel is my first choice for buying wine. He knows his stuff regarding wine. He only sells wines that he tastes first and approves of. He can guide you in selecting a wine that's right for you and/or right for the occasion. As mentioned, if he doesn't have the specific wine that you want on the shelf, he will find it for you if at all available in Texas. Highly, highly recommended. read more

After having the wonderful Chocolate Box Sparkling Shiraz at the Veritas OYE (http://www.yelp.com/biz/taste-of-summer-yelp-elite-event-veritas-wine-room-dallas#hrid:thnBgyWmgCZu9FJWK_xJ_g), I just had to have some more. So I checked with the guys at Rocland Estates and they pointed me to Chris at Put a Cork In It Wine Shop. Well I stopped in a while back, and while Chris did not have the Chocolate Box Sparkling Shiraz, he did have a "Kilroy Was Here" Sparkling Shiraz , which is also by Rocland Estates. Now maybe it was me, or it could be the wine, but I did not seem to enjoy the "Kilroy Was Here" Sparkling Shiraz as much as the Chocolate Box Sparkling Shiraz. Of course maybe it was the awesome vibe of that OYE that made everything taste better. Regardless, Put a Cork In It is a very nice shop and Chris was very helpful in helping me find my wine (I bought 3 bottles) and he made some other suggestions I'd like to try someday. If Put a Cork In It was closer to home, I'd definitely make it my wine shop of choice (I don't have "a shop of choice" near home either). Oh, and there are also regularly scheduled tastings, so you might want to get on that mailing list! PS. If you are hungry, check out Park Hill Cafe right next door (http://www.yelp.com/biz/park-hill-cafe-fort-worth). read more

See all

Love this Fort Worth gem! Great selection of wines from around the world. Owner can order anything. Best wine shop in FW. read more

i am only giving 4 stars because I have never set foot in this establishment. I was on the hunt for a wine that I saw in a review on a vlog. i called on a Saturday afternoon and the woman that answered the phone asked if she could put me on hold because there was a customer she was assisting . after a minute on hold, I hung up. she got my number from their caller I'd and promptly called me back. she apologized for the wait and asked how she could help. She wasn't able to find the wine in store. she asked if it was okay to text me. she texted me with a photo. it was not what I was looking for so I shared a photo that I had. she then became excited about the hunt. In 2023, this type of service is unmatched. I hadn't even spent a dime with them. I will be making it a point to go in and patronize this establishment. read more

Great wine shop. Have a nice selection and personal service.can order most anything Great tastings. Get in their email list read more

We were finishing up a work trip having come from California and looking for some wine to pair with takeout pizza. Kate and Put a Cork In It did not disappoint! We walked in and immediately recognized some of our favorites. After talking to Kate about what we normally drink, we asked her for a few recommendations. Three bottles later, and a fun turtle aerator, we made our purchase, picked up our pizza and headed to the AirBnB. The JuanGil Red blend was excellent! Looking forward to trying the others and stopping in again when in the Fort Worth area. read more

Put a Cork In It Wine Shop is a great place to find quality wine at a good price. The store has a good location (off University close to the zoo). The owner really knows wine and can make great recommendations for you. When we can not locate a place to buy a specific wine he typically has it or can match another bottle up that is very similar to the taste we are looking for. With the over whelming growth and popularity of bourbon you can also find that here too. They offer wine tastings and my "pro" tips is to use cash for a discount. read more

Based on my couple of trips in here, looks to be a family-owned thin reed of a wine shop, featuring varietals of all ilk, from special occasions where you might be willing to stretch the budget to affordable, yet carefully curated, selections. I've been here for a tasting at least once, and one thing I think you'll find of most wine shops is that many wine store owners and managers share an affinity for telling the tales of good wine: where it came from (as opposed to where it's going, which is down my gullet), what makes it special, and what in particular about the year, the region, and the soil or atmospheric conditions have come into play to make a given taste the character it displays. With that idea in mind, the proprietor here tends to give a fairly dry (I suppose as opposed to what, oaky?) take on what they carry, but the facts are all there. If you're looking for storytime at Put a Cork In It, you leave a little wanting, but if you're down to walk with something that may surprise your tastebuds in a good way, there's a good chance they've got you covered. read more

Wandered in here the other day to check out the previous reviews and hopefully find that shop that I can make all my regular purchases and orders from. This wasn't it for me, but i will say might be that for others. Let me preface by saying, I like old world style wines with big earthy flavors and some age on them (8-10 yrs+). This shop seems to cater more to the boutique wine drinker, has a one or two common Italian style wines, and then a small selection of collector's wines, but mostly common labels that can be found at most retailers for about the same price. All together, the selection and prices are decent, though more of the common varietals, and a rather deep selection of Rose. Not to be outdone is a small selection of icewines, ports, and spirits. There, as well, are many wine and spirit accessories to enrich your drinking experiences. The clerk at the time seemed more concerned with the computer at the register than to talking to us as we browsed and if they had something unique or interesting to me that I just didn't see, probably missed a sale. A hello at the door and quite some time later, a very brief, "You all need any help with anything?" didn't feel welcoming or intriguing, so we forewent the small talk and left shortly after. One thing that was very intriguing to me though was the art for sale on the walls. There was a wide array of very talented work priced for sale, and I'd venture that if I had the money to spend, I probably would have taken a lot of it home. I'll keep looking for somewhere that is a little more welcoming and seems interested in aiding me in ordering some higher end labels, but for the general consumer, this isn't a bad shop to stop in at and take a look around. read more

Owner not social at all I wanted to buy 2 bottles after a tasting but owner never came back to see if we wanted to revisit wine just went up front and set on his Duff and acted keep je he didn't ever want to. Bet there, he just lost a sale. Not only did he lose a sale I will not be back to his shop at all to buy any if his wines. I can get just as good or better at other places. Was really turned off by personality he was a real jerk so he won't be getting my business at all and I would recommend the same for anyone else. I don't care how good of wine he has if he treats his customers like that I don't want any part of it. Totally dissatisfied tonight and will not be back ever!!!!! read more

One of the best little wine shops in town. They always have the most recent releases as well as those hard to find small release wines. One of my favorite things about this shop is the little port, scotch and liquor shelf in the back. Its not a huge selection but you can tell the buyer here really knows his stuff. Definitely worth checking this place out when you get the chance. read more

I was asked to by Put a Cork in It by an employee at the time. That was 5 years ago. Since then, I've stopped by on weekends, or whenever else my travels take me through Ft Worth. It's great place to taste, shop and learn about new wines (and champagne and bourbon). The selection is varied and I believe caters to customers who appreciate good wine and a good value. For me, it's about finding a wine that I enjoy, am confident giving to others, and knowing that I got it at a fair price. Chris and Deedra have always come through, and that's why I buy my wine in Fort Worth at Put a Cork in It, even though I live in Dallas. I read other reviews about selection and engaging personalities/stories, etc. My experience is that if Chris doesn't have in stock what you are looking for, he gets it promptly at a good price. He orders our favorites regularly, so if you know what you want, he can get it. His knowledge of wine is vast, and he knows great alternatives for just about every wine. If one wants a history lesson on wine, Chris can give it for every bottle he sells, and alot more. You just have to ask. read more

I wish I could give them 100 stars. I love this place! My sister still lives in the area and she has been coming the past 4 years for the weekly wine tastings. I come with her whenever I visit and I always look forward to it. They have a great selection and knowledge. Their love for what they do always shines through. Pluses (plural) are 1. Cuvet the dog (who is quickly becoming celebrity), 2. Deidre's fantastic jewelry and hair clips, and 3. the interesting artwork sometimes available for sale. Their cousin owns Park Hill Cafe next door, so come in here and grab a bottle since it's BYOB, before you head over :) read more

A really great discovery for me--I found Put a Cork in It through a wine distributor when I was trying to locate a limited edition malbec that no one else in the area had. Needless to say, mission accomplished, but my love doesn't stop there. First, the ownership is extremely friendly, and second, you've got to love the free tastings, which allow the consumer to explore different regions and varietals. The focus on the selections here is value--almost everything is under $20, which limits the range a bit, but allows people to find outstanding everyday wines without spending a fortune, and there's never anything wrong with that! read more

Been going here for years. Great selection of wine. Owners are very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves wine and want to try something new! read more

We just moved to Fort Worth two weeks ago and have already gone here on multiple occasions. We were already recognized on our second visit. Very friend owners. Quality wine at a great price. We are so excited to have found this spot! read more

Owner has a superb selection of New World wine (my favorite) and can always recommend the perfect bottle. Tastings are always free and the owner is always willing to help the consumer explore new wines. I recommend this store to all my friends. read more
