Rootstock Wine Bar

One of my favorite wine bars in the Bay area. It opens relatively late compared to the other ones I know of. Besides wine flights, they also have beer flights. The wines usually rotate every month, so you'll always be trying something different! They also have a membership , but I can't make their monthly event where you collect your bottle of the month. It's a bit too early for me, especially being a weekday. I wish it was a bit later in the day, like 730pm onwards. If it was, I would definitely be a member!

Rootstock is a fine wine retreat with a good-sized cellar and bar menu of upscale food located in the Main Street Cupertino complex. Service was attentive and cultured, ordered a Malbec, a Rose, and the Chardonnay flight. Every single one of them was delicious. The wine list is carefully curated and handpicked, packed with amazing California bottles and plenty of European and South American vintages - FYI they also sell bottles for home consumption. Upscale location, nice interior and decor, and a variety of seating (high-tops, bar, booth, table, and outdoors). Really enjoyed it, and will certainly return - looking forward to more flights. It would take the experience to the next level by offering a variety of wine & cheese or some kind of wine & food pairings.

This place has been interesting for me personally the person Will has been a delightful person to talk to over a glass of reds or whites. Great place to unwind and relax after finishing work to debrief. Their subscription program is great my wine fridge is always brimming with great selection for me to enjoy at home.

The bar is fairly small and it being a Friday so there was a line waiting to get in, but I by myself so luckily I was able to get in right away. The bar is pretty dark, so a flash light is given to read the menu. I love how it decorated, though dark, lots of interesting stuff, and really comfortable. My favorite drink that I had was the Osaka, great flavor, not overly liquor forward though it a whiskey drink and they smoke the glass so it has a great smell that doesn't affect the taste of the drink.
