Corked Carrot

314 S Main St. 
Memphis, TN  38103

There's a new wine bar (I think Memphis's only) in downtown Memphis.  


It's more than a wine bar, though.  It's wine AND cupcakes.  I thought you paired wine with cheese, but this pairing goes just as well.  


One thing I noticed about the menu is that you can get a small pour of wine, a glass, or a bottle.  I am interested in going back and trying several wines, especially the more expensive ones that I have always wanted to try but never wanted to order a bottle.  


They also have kegged wines, which are $2.50 off during happy hour, which is Monday - Friday from 4pm - 8pm.  


They had live music on Friday, when I went.  It's a nice chic atmosphere.  


You can spend as much or as little really.  


They have sweet and savory cupcakes.  I didn't try a savory cupcake yet; I will next time.  I'm not sure how big the savory ones are.  I wonder if they're filling enough for a meal.


I ordered the carrot cake cupcake.  They are very flavorful.  They are also not too big.  I'm actually a fan of mini desserts.  I rarely want a huge piece of cake.  


They have a display case, and on the other side, you can watch the chef at work.  


I went during zombie walk.  Every year in downtown there's a zombie march.  I'm not sure if they're marching for rights or brains.  



We also had very attentive service.  So... who wants to go with me for a savory cupcake??
