Wine of the Week
Sunday 3/30 - Saturday 4/5 - Amancaya
Curious what a Gruner is? Maybe you’ve never had a Barolo? This is your chance to try it all out because our Wine of the Week will focus on a wine that is normally sold by the bottle but we’ll be pouring by the glass. This is a perfect opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, try something new and expand your palate.

live music Apr 4th & 5th
Join us on Friday April 4th as our guest pianist Joe Kentos brings his jazzy style to fill the wine lounge with beautiful melodies. Come back to join us on Saturday April 5th, as guest pianist Ed Collins plays all of our fave piano tunes that you can sing along with (but don’t)!
Come enjoy a bottle of wine, some small bites, and live piano music spanning different decades and different styles. It’s the perfect compliment to a date night, a GNO or just a gathering of friends. And if you love the music, don’t forget to tip them!
What to expect
A luxe wine bar experience, warm and inviting atmosphere, a worldwide driven wine list and small plates to compliment the list. The Cork @ CCF was created to provide an upscale locale, in downtown Palatine. Attention to every detail, lighting, music, warm colors and seating are inspired to make you a welcomed guest in our “home”. With the addition of our baby grand piano, we will host guest musicians on occasion as well.
Come join us for an evening to remember!
the menu
At The Cork @ CCF, we believe that great wine deserves to be paired with equally exceptional food. Our thoughtfully crafted menu, developed by our Culinary Director, Lucio Davila, features a selection of small plates and shareable bites designed to complement and enhance our curated wine offerings. Each dish brings together bold flavors and delicate nuances that perfectly balance the depth and complexity of our wines. Whether you’re here for a light snack, a sweet treat, or something in between, we invite you to indulge in a culinary experience that celebrates the art of food and wine pairing.
