This summer, we’re sipping rosé Champagne with one of our favorite recipes: the sweet and savory watermelon feta salad from chef Gaby Dalkin of . Not only is this no-cook stunner the perfect refreshing treat for all our picnics and patio hangs, it comes together lickety-split and feeds a sun-loving crowd.

Pair it with L’R du Temps Rosé from our talented friend . Fruit-forward with notes of red currant and fresh berries, these dry, petal-pink bubbles are mouthwateringly delicious all on their own or with something juicy and fresh from the farmers market.

Cheers!

What’s Bryan drinking on Friday? — When he’s in Champagne!

“I love high acid white wines that enliven my palate like a cold shower on a dark January morning. And nothing is more fresh than zero dosage chardonnay from the chalky soils Champagne. But after Iza, Peter and I tasted our favorite wines for three days dawn to dusk, our palates needed a rest.

So, for our Friday night dinner in Champagne, we turned our attention to the next freshest wine region in the world: the Loire!

And boy did we choose two of the best from the esteemed Guiberteau house. The white Chenin Blanc gets all the attention, but the red Cab Franc was a perfect for our variety of entrees including seafood, white meat, red meat and veggies.

For many, the dry and crispy Loire whites and light-bodied reds can have a bit too much acid; but for our trained and strained palates, they felt like silk on the tongue. Cheers!” - Bryan Maletis 1/5/24

Celebrate Every Day

Welcome to fatcork, we’re delighted to have you! Our motto here is “Celebrate Every Day.” We believe that you don’t need to wait for a special occasion, but you can create one by popping a bottle.

We are an importer and distributor of “grower Champagne” — bubbles made by producers in the Champagne region of France who grow their own grapes. Farmer fizz, if you will. Our goal is to celebrate every day and we help our customers do just that.

We work with small, family run Champagne houses who create bubbles that reflect their distinct vineyards and style. These producers we work with have passed their craft down from generation to generation—they’re true masters.

Our personal relationship with our growers allows us to hand select our cuvees, some of which are exclusive to fatcork. All of our Champagne is picked up from the vigneron’s caves in France and shipped, temperature controlled, to our cave in Seattle.
