Ordinaire (Wine Bar)[edit | edit source]

Ordinaire is a renowned wine bar located in Oakland, California. It is known for its extensive selection of natural wines and its warm, inviting atmosphere. The bar was established in 2013 by Dr. Bradford Taylor, a former academic who decided to turn his passion for wine into a business.

History[edit | edit source]

Ordinaire was founded by Dr. Bradford Taylor in 2013. Taylor, who holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology, was inspired by the natural wine bars he visited while studying in France. He named the bar "Ordinaire" in homage to the French term for everyday wine. The bar quickly gained a reputation for its selection of natural wines and its welcoming atmosphere.

Concept[edit | edit source]

Ordinaire is more than just a wine bar. It is a place where wine lovers can gather to enjoy natural wines in a relaxed and friendly environment. The bar's concept is based on the French "cave à manger" model, which combines a wine shop with a place to eat and drink. Customers can purchase bottles to take home, or they can enjoy a glass or two on the premises.

Wine Selection[edit | edit source]

Ordinaire specializes in natural wine, a type of wine that is made with minimal chemical and technological intervention. The bar's wine list features a diverse selection of natural wines from around the world, with a particular focus on wines from France and Italy. The selection changes regularly, ensuring that there is always something new to discover.

Food Menu[edit | edit source]

In addition to wine, Ordinaire also offers a small food menu. The menu is designed to complement the wines and features a selection of cheese and charcuterie, as well as a few seasonal dishes. All the food is sourced from local suppliers, reflecting the bar's commitment to sustainability.

Events[edit | edit source]

Ordinaire regularly hosts events, including wine tastings, winemaker dinners, and educational workshops. These events provide an opportunity for customers to learn more about natural wine and to meet the people behind the wines they love.

Location[edit | edit source]

Ordinaire is located in the Grand Lake neighborhood of Oakland, California. The bar's location, in a bustling area full of shops and restaurants, makes it a popular destination for both locals and visitors.
