We are regulars here and absolutely love uncorked. The owner, Chris, is extremely knowledgeable about wine and eager to share his passion and appreciation for wines from around the world. For club members especially, he has gone out of his way to find what fits everyone's pallet-- and even shared itineraries for destinations around the world. The space itself is cozy and well kept. read more

I've been here a few times when I come out to Truckee Thursdays. Surprisingly with their vast selection, they are very limited in French wines. The first time I came, I first ordered a glass from Italy - I was NOT a fan. The waitress suggested to try a flight so I can taste the rest of their red offerings. They DO NOT offer tastes. I didn't like any of them. I left quite disappointed and my friend who ended up drinking all my wine was a bit tipsy. haha We did come back on a shopping trip to Truckee and stopped by to wind down. To my pleasant surprise, they had a French wine from Côtes du Rhône. It was fantastic and priced reasonably at $13/glass. It would be nice if they shared their menu online so we can check it out before our visit. Nice ambiance and Nick our server was really nice. Oh and try their salt and vinegar chips... super salty and super vinegary and SUPER addicting! read more

Uncorked Truckee - a must try! these were the best chips ive had in a while. - Wine Bars Near Me - Truckee, California

Had such an amazing experience at Uncorked! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. The staff made the whole experience feel special -- taking the time to recommend wines, explain the flavors, and make sure everyone found something they loved. You can tell they're truly passionate about what they do. And the wine... absolutely fantastic. Every pour was thoughtfully curated and high quality. Whether you're a casual wine drinker or a serious enthusiast, there's something here that will impress you. The atmosphere is relaxed, stylish, and perfect for unwinding after a day in the mountains. It's the kind of place you plan to stop by for one glass and end up staying for a while because the vibe is just that good. read more

All around amazing experiences. I've been to Uncorked many times, and I'm also a member of their wine club. Each experience has had impeccable service, an amazing selection of wines, and a wonderful atmosphere. Whether you are a sommelier or just enjoy a glass here and there, the staff here can guide you and find the right bottle or glass. Will be coming back soon! read more

great service - super staff - very knowledgeable!!! owner super nice we stopped by after dinner. Truckee is great read more

Really cool place. The gentlemen bartender was very knowledgeable and very friendly. The wine flight was really good along with the charcuterie! Ambidextrous was pretty cool! Can't wait to go back. read more

I have been drinking wine my entire adult life. I lived in Europe and took the wine for granted. I have been living in Oceanside, CA and come up to Tahoe area about once a year. My first visit to Uncorked Truckee I met the owner, Chris, who was behind the bar at the time alongside another member of his team. I mentioned I was up from San Diego area and he commented that he had spent time in San Diego as well. After a few formalities, he asked what I liked to drink and I was brutally honest that I really did not know what I liked. After a few more questions, he suggested a flight that way I could better understand what I liked/didn't like. After a few different ones and me telling me what I liked about them (or didn't like about them), he told me that he suspects that he understands my palate and proceeded to show me his skill of linking his deep knowledge of every wine he has with what I did not know I liked. I was amazed with his suggestions with only a few flight glasses. I call him for wine advice and he ships the wine, he remembers what I liked and continues to put wine in front of me that tastes great. A couple years ago he even called me up and mentioned that he had ordered a specific Bichi wine that I really enjoyed and I could get a case if I wanted - I was ecstatic because I tried looking for it (even phoning Uncorked to see if they had any left) and thought I would never see it again. Retail establishments that are that dedicated to the customer are normally reserved for the expensive street. Uncorked bucks that trend. Their service and wine knowledge is second to none. I am still a wine novice and without experts like Uncorked, I would have missed out on some pretty special bottles that did not break the bank. Thank you for what you do! You are appreciated! read more

Uncorked provides a wide array of spectacular wines from around the world and owner Chris Barkman possesses a unique ability to perfectly match little-known wines with his customers' palates. I highly recommend consulting with Chris and Uncorked when stocking your cellar, shopping for a special occasion, or just selecting wines to enjoy with friends. read more

We received our wine quickly, but we weren't impressed with the selection. The prices are high, and while the staff was okay, it wasn't the friendliest experience. read more

How much do I like this place? Heck, we went twice in one day! Easily, if we hadn't left town before their opening time of noon, it would have been two days. Georgia is a fantastic Host & a great advocate for the Truckee chamber of commerce. We ended up staying overnight, a few doors down AND having a wonderful dinner, all at her suggestion. read more

Uncorked Truckee - Wine wall! - Wine Bars Near Me - Truckee, California

Uncorked is a wine merchant right in downtown Truckee. They offer a broad selection of bottles or several selections by the glass. They do also serve a few snacks if your visit includes a lot of sampling. Our host was pleasant and timely. The interior is fancy-rustic and a little dark. The a/c made for a nice and comfortable stop on a warm July day. The place is pretty pricey so we kept our visit brief. read more

Uncorked Truckee - 2021 Alfredo Maestro Viña Almate Tempranillo Castillo Y Leon - Wine Bars Near Me - Truckee, California

While the place was attractive, the ambience was nice (we sat outside with our Golden Party Doodle), the prices were pretty high for what you got back, especially the charcuterie plate. I understand that the price of rent and products are probably pretty steep in Truckee, but $22 for that plate of food was over the top. I run two businesses so I appreciate an owners struggle. Provide more for the price, and I'd have no qualms paying it. Six crackers and small pieces of cheese along with three other crackers just doesn't cut it. The service was absolutely with a smile and there was only one person working, who was really nice, but it was still very, very slow. The question I always ask when I write a review is whether I'll go back again. The answer sadly is no. Not a bad place, just ok. read more

Uncorked Truckee - Charcuterie plate - Wine Bars Near Me - Truckee, California

Uncorked is a super cute wine bar in downtown truckee. I don't make it down often (since I have two small kiddos), but when I do have some time alone and feel like a glass of wine, this is my go to place. They have a real nice selection of wine by the glass and also sell bottles. They also have a wine club (who doesn't like that?!?). My last visit was last week and it was a crowded but was able to grab the last seat at the bar. The bartender was super nice and gave some great recommendations. Also, love the meat and cheese plate! Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a chill place to get a glass of wine. Just to note, while they have tables and you could bring kiddos, I personally wouldn't. read more

Great wine selection and service. The owner Chris knows his wine. Big time. Had a great time and will be going back for happy hour! Cheers! read more

One of the most overpriced and underwhelming places I've ever seen. $19 glass with a 3 oz pour. Total Bay Area atmosphere. Avoid at all costs. Let this place go out of business. To clarify: the bottle online costs $40. Upsold for $19 per glass. I assure you, none of us had a 5 oz pour. read more

Stopped in today for a glass of wine before driving back home. For a predictably busy day, they were severely understaffed; one employee to service as many as 20+ guests at a time. She was doing her best, but should have had some backup. The selection was eclectic enough, but the busyness of everything meant no time for asking questions, tasting anything, etc. I'll give them another shot, but I hope next time it's a more relaxed vibe. read more

Great wine selection, excellent Cheese Plate and fast/friendly service. If you just want a glass of wine and quick bite or a nice bottle of wine, I definitely recommend visiting uncorked. read more

Horrible service. Had 30 minutes before our dinner reservation so we walked the town and found Uncorked. We sat at the bar - not busy at all and waited 15 minutes before I asked the helper - not the bartender if we could get service. The bartender (older guy; my age) heard the request and became super aggressive that I would dare ask for help - he did it in such a cocky nature that his actions toward an A personality like my wife and I was not going to go without action. When he stopped what he was doing and asked what we'd like, my wife paused for a second and said "nothing - let's go"! We got up to leave and the smart ass said "have a great night" which we responded "count on it - we will". Tired of poor service from knuckleheads. If the person I pointed out is the owner of Uncorked - "check your attitude and realize you are in the service business"! If the owner is reading this review - I hope it helps you and your team. Not sure where to respond to Kelsey's reply - so I'll reply here: Your regulars got it wrong! I guess in your reply to me you made my point about the service we received. Defend all you want; I would expect your regulars to defend. I've wasted more time on this than I should. Take the feedback to coach and improve. Love small businesses. Best of luck! read more

Great selection of both US and imported wines, heavy on localish options, and a small selection of beer and ale as well. Both recent times I've stopped in, the staff was quite knowledge and able to help pick out a bottle that met my (pretty detailed) criteria. Inside the space is great with bottle options lining two walls and a long beautiful bar for inside seating. Very cozy modern feel. Order a bottle and the staff with open it for you and provide glasses for taking to one of a couple of outside tables on the sidewalk in front. Call ahead for hours during COVID, and expect a warm, helpful welcome when you arrive. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 1:30pm. Steady amount of people coming and going. Did a 3 wine tasting then two glasses of one of the white wines that I loved! We also ordered the cheese board which was delicious. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about wine and spoke so passionately when describing each wine to us. They have sooooo many bottle options to take home and I left with a delicious Spanish wine and at a very reasonable price. I cannot wait to come back and try some more wines! read more

I went in to this establishment on Saturday with a party of 9 beautiful black ladies and we were given subpar service. The bartender and owner were very dismissive towards us. I have been to several wineries big and small and still did not ever receive the type of treatment I experienced. It was a very disappointing experience overall. No one would leave a tip if services are unsatisfactory and just and fyi I would never come back read more

I went to Truckee for a weekend girls trip.. We were super excited to visit uncorked!. Once we got there one of the employees advise us that they would not be able to accommodate our party if we wanted to order flights, because they did not have enough wine glasses. He stated they needed the glasses for the customers that came in and it would take up too much time! Keep in mind we are customers that came in! The owner advised us to order one glass at a time in a condescending tone. Some of us ordered wine others refused to order anything. The experience was very uncomfortable and honestly, after that all of us girls just wanted to leave town and get back to our cabin (sorry for the rant) .. read more

Very comfy and chic. Wooden top bar for dainty thin glass. A great wine list to let time pass. Champagne, rose and Bordeaux. Try their trio tasting. For $12, you should go. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I went to Truckee for a girls cabin trip, and was so excited to wine taste. As we entered, uncorked, the excitement was not reciprocated. First of all it took a little while before the bartender even spoke to us after that the manager comes out and proceeds to tell us that he would not be able to service us flights if we wanted. When we tried to come up with other ways to still have the flight served but in one glass, he didn't like that idea, which doesn't make any sense. I decided not to give this place any of my money and honestly I strongly suggest if you're black, you don't do it either! read more

You can get a 3-wine tasting for $10: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EJ5-h6KllGY2mNXxpK9YwA&userid=wG9d5TxOKKgbd8O08-kntA (I liked the Banshee Mordecai white, and the Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz). The cheese plate is good: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1fpqyA1OY5eEb7vmeGnGEA&userid=wG9d5TxOKKgbd8O08-kntA This wine bar, and the Petra wine bar at Northstar, are under the same ownership, but I recommend this location. The wine bar at Northstar is more expensive, and tends to close early on slow days. read more

Good wine selection for tasting. Service is poor. We went in for a tasting and it was like pulling teeth to get a recommendation on what wines to try. We did find a good wine and purchased a bottle, but would have been open to tasting 3 more wines and maybe purchasing 3 more for a dinner party with friends. With the bad service we just bought the one bottle and left. read more

The service sucks and I felt like we were profiled from the time we walked in. If you are a person of color I do not recommend this place.

So this was my first racism experience in my life to be told you can't order flights at a winery because of 10 black women came in... we was told it's too many of us and they don't have enough glasses... I was so confused... we had to walk up to the bar instead of being serve....where I live it's very diverse so this was a different type of experience I will not return to this establishment it's 2023 we got money business owners ourselves I would never treat anyone like that ever in life... do better Chris the owner read more

Came here for a glass of wine with some family and this place is super cute! There was not a lot of people in there because we came before dinner time but this spot is great! The wine was good and I loved the decor of this place such as the wood bar and the tree overhead. The bartender was very helpful and super nice - he had great recommendations of the wine we were craving that day. We will for sure be back to buy some wine from their wall of bottles and to enjoy another glass. read more

I didn't even get a chance to experience the wine selection. I went in and informed the lady behind the bar that I am interested in some wine. She told me to wait a minute as another lady walked in and she went to over to speak with her. Five long minutes went by without any acknowledgement of me patiently waiting. I am sure the owner is wondering why they are losing revenue. I had to leave based on the rude customer service. Big mistake! Big...Huge! read more

Expected a wine bar to have above average service, especially the wine tasting selection offered on the menu. This is by far the worst tasting I've experienced and was a complete waste of money. The server seemed bothered if a question was asked of him. He only poured but offered no input or knowledge of any of the wines. You are on your own here. The owner showed up and offered only an arrogant and dismissive attitude (isn't he a certified sommelier?). So disappointing. This tops my list of worst wine tasting experiences. Will not return here and would never recommend. read more

Drove from Reno to have a nice Sunday wine tasting for date day with my love and unfortunately I was very disappointed.... not by the wine, the decor, or the selection, but by the staff vibes and treatment. While seemingly polite there was definitely some judgement, maybe because were a 22/23 year old couple and this was our first wine tasting so we didn't really know much, who knows. I just felt uncomfortable, slightly judged, and pressured. My boyfriend asked for a recommendation and it was kind of cold.... just felt like I needed to rush and chug my wine and leave. On the other hand, there are a ton of wines to choose from both on the menu and along the walls. There is also a $20 and under selection with quite a bit of wines! I liked that a lot. The menu has a tasting trio for $12 for anything on the menu, that was just enough to taste and get a real feel for it. Just wish the overall experience were a little better. When I first asked about the "trio" the lady looked at me like I was clueless then replied that they had a "try three wines for $12".... okay work with me a little. Just a little upset because we did drive all the way out to Truckee from Reno. Maybe next time. read more

I stopped in to ask the young woman behind the bar for a restaurant recommendation and ended up staying longer to check out this ultra hip place. This gem features a wide variety of some eclectic and boutique wines. I wish I had gotten the name of the woman who helped us as she suggested a super place to eat down the street (Marg's Taco Bistro) which was a great choice. Very friendly service and cool urban décor. I plan to return to enjoy a flight or two! read more

We found this spot while waiting for our dinner reservation and we're glad we found it! They have a taster option where you can get three tastes for $12, which I went with. The bartender was friendly and well spoken about the wines I was tasting and the wineries they came from. I really liked one of their Santa Barbara roses and it was nice to be able to buy a bottle to take home. I think that you can purchase any of the wines that you taste. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area! read more
