Fatcork is the Champagne you never knew you needed! The focus on growers champagne is unique and I am not aware of another wine shop like Fatcork in Seattle. If you are just visiting Seattle, Fatcork is the perfect stop on the way to dinner. Call ahead and make an appointment, you will not be disappointed. Memberships are very reasonable, and their model to customize your wine selection by taste is really fun, and works really well. It's based on a survey about how you drink champagne, and the questions cover everything from when you drink champagne (yes, they ask if it's for breakfast!) To the time of year and types of food (including with eggs, or popcorn). They have never sent us a bad bottle of bubbles! If you are visiting in person they have dozens of champagnes by small producers you can only purchase at Fatcork. The tasting profiles are endless and the prices are all super reasonable. Tastings are fun, and the staff are nice to talk to and very knowledgeable. Many have even traveled to some of the locations and met with the producers in person and know them. If you're not sure, just go and check it all out, you will be glad you did!!
