Our Story & Commitment to Global Wine Excellence

Cork & Fork Fine Wine Merchants stands as a beacon of generational expertise and international distinction in viticulture, oenology, and wine education, connecting wine lovers with a world of refined taste and discovery. Founded by Dominique Landragin—a seventh-generation viticulturist and third-generation oenologist from Champagne, France—our company is shaped by his decades of global experience in some of the most renowned wine regions, including Champagne, Bordeaux, and Australia. Today, under the direction of Antoinette Landragin, Cork & Fork continues its journey of innovation and excellence, blending heritage with contemporary sustainability and education.

This blog is dedicated to sharing stories from our unique journey as a women-owned wine retailer, shining a light on the people, places, and practices that define our passion. Here, readers will find insights into exclusive wine selections, educational resources, and highlights from our events and tastings—each informed by Antoinette’s ongoing studies at Texas Tech University and her explorations across thirty wine-producing countries. We invite our community to explore the nuances of fine wine, sustainable viticulture, and international craftsmanship alongside us, with every post reflecting Cork & Fork’s commitment to authenticity, expertise, and connection.
