Saturday, September 19, 2026, 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM · Cork & Screw, East Austin, Austin
Cork & Screw hosts an Italian summer wine tasting with fresh raw and grilled oysters, shrimp cocktail, and lobster rolls. Live music and flow tattoos round out the Saturday evening event.
Natural wine fills two rooms of a converted bungalow on East 12th, with a staff that can explain biodynamic producers and obscure grape varietals without turning the conversation into a lecture. The shelves lean toward pét-nats, organic bottles, and small-production imports, with a handful of Texas wines worked into the mix. Grab a bottle, borrow a corkscrew and glasses, and settle into the courtyard garden for a while.
