Our Story

About Cork Dorx

Cork Dorx was founded from a passion for wine, education, and community. After more than 14 years in the industry, I recognized a gap: wine education often felt intimidating, exclusive, or inaccessible.

I also rarely saw wine education intentionally promoted within communities of color, despite the growing influence of diverse enthusiasts. Driven to change that narrative, I created Cork Dorx—a company dedicated to making wine approachable, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone.
