Q and A

About

Half Cork'd is a new concept serving premium wine, beer and champagne. This sophisticated addition to downtown Gainesville's entertainment and dining culture is now open! Located in a prime location on SE 1st St., this new concept will redefine the way you experience wine.

Whether you identify with the trendy chic socialite looking for a hotspot to lounge, a working woman who wants to relax and enjoy some wine with a few girlfriends, or you are just out with the guys after a Gators game, Half Cork'd has something to offer you.

Designed with contemporary flare and an unassuming luxury, Half Cork'd is not just a bar- it's an experience! It will transform the way you experience wine. There is nothing like our intelligent wine dispensing technology in Gainesville. The technology allows customers to taste up to 56 different wines, choose from over 250 bottles, or simply choose a favorite from a global list. The selections were carefully chosen to provide the best quality and finest selection at an affordable price point.

If the technology alone isn't enough to encourage you to come by, Half Cork'd will feature live music and is available for private parties and events.

Half Cork'd is committed to share with Gainesville the experience of learning, tasting, and enjoying wine with this new technology. This concept is unlike anything Gainesville has experienced before. Now that we're open, there's really only one question left for you to ask... "When can we meet there?"

Q and A

When will you be opening?

Half Cork'd is now open! Come in to 116 SE 1st Street in downtown Gainesville to taste a new wine today!

What is the atmosphere like?

Half Cork'd is a combination of a premium wine / specialty food store and an ultra-stylish wine bar with the most technologically advanced wine preservation and dispensing systems available today. The atmosphere at Half Cork'd is cool and chic but also comfortable and inviting. The space will have a modern design with lounge seating for groups. The atmosphere at Half Cork'd is one of simple luxury and relaxation. It will be both a warm, intimate place for a date and an open environment for a group.

Will there be entertainment? If so, what kind? When?

Half Cork'd will offer some live entertainment, most likely a one or two piece acoustical group. The entertainment will be consistent with offering our guests the opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's company and conversation. We haven't finalized specific dates and times, but live entertainment will be offered occasionally.

How many varieties of wine will you offer?

Half Cork'd will offer an estimated 300 unique global wines and champagnes. At any given time, our state of the art wine dispensers will have at least 56 wines available for our guests to try by the ounce, or as a half or full glass. Half Cork'd will also offer a selection of premium beers. While 56 wine bottles are in the dispensers, the remaining bottles will be available for purchase individually or in bulk. The lists were carefully chosen with expertise to offer customers with the finest quality and the best prices. With so many wines, premium beers and champagnes to choose from, there will be something for everyone's taste and price range.

How do you make the selections?

Our owners and management team have extensive knowledge and love of wine. We will also continue to consult with other local experts with strong backgrounds in wine and food. Most importantly, we will listen to our guests. We will focus on the feedback and requests of our guests to guide us in selecting the best wines, champagnes, beers, cheeses and specialty food items.

How will you dispense the product?

Half Cork'd will have 56 wine dispensers that use argon gas to keep the wine fresh for months. Half Cork'd will also offer a more extensive variety of wines by the bottle. And while Half Cork'd is a premium wine bar, we also offer our large variety of premium wines and champagnes for sale. So if our guests discover a wine they love, the wine can be purchased by the bottle to enjoy at Half Cork'd or they can by the bottle or case to take home.

Will you have any special events?

Half Cork'd has already received several requests to host private parties and events. From a bridal shower to a business function, Half Cork'd will provide a fun and unique experience to hold an event.

Who are the owners?

Miles Kinsell is a Gainesville Attorney; Rick Staab is the owner and president of InterMed Biomedical, InterMed Nuclear Medicine and Intermed Ultrasound; John Pastore is the owner and president of Crime Prevention Security Systems; and Jonelle Toothman is Worldwide Product Director for Codman Neurovascular.

What inspired you to open the business?

The owners are four local professionals who share a love of great wine and good friends. For years, Miles and Rick talked about opening a wine bar where they could relax with friends and enjoy good wine. After visiting a wine bar in the Orlando area that had wine dispensers, the decision was made to make the vision a reality. Once the decision was made to create Half Cork'd, Jonelle and John joined the group because they shared the same passion and vision for Half Cork'd.

Why did you pick the location you did?

Downtown was selected because of the variety of great restaurants, the Hippodrome and the access to Gainesville community events, such as live music and the arts festivals. When our design team suggested the effect that a major renovation could have on the space, we immediately knew that 116 SE 1st Street was the right location for Half Cork'd.

How do you think Half Corkd will fare? What type of customer do you expect to see?

Half Cork'd will appeal to the more experienced wine lover because of our substantial selection and the ability to try out new wines without the expense of buying the entire bottle. But Half Cork'd will also appeal to the person who doesn't have any real knowledge or experience with wine. Half Cork'd will create a comfortable and non-intimidating environment for our guests to discover wine without the associated snobbery. We also hope that Half Cork'd will add an extra special experience for those visiting the downtown area for a show or after a nice dinner.

We are excited about what Half Cork'd has to offer Gainesville. Not only will we offer a large variety of wines but with 56 dispensers, our guests will have an experience when visiting. With the ability to change out the types of wines regularly, we can offer our guests new experiences each time they visit. We anticipate developing the retail side of Half Cork'd with a loyal customer base because not only will have an exceptional collection of wine at discounted rates, but our customers will be able to try the wines before making their purchases.
