Uncorked Kitchen
Uncorked Kitchen has rolled out their new winter menu as well as opened their new, fully enclosed patio wine bar. We had the chance to check it out for drinks & small plates this week and it was great.
Uncorked Kitchen
We arrived at Uncorked Kitchen and headed upstairs to the wine bar; the aesthetic was warm and inviting. The new, fully enclosed patio means patrons can enjoy views of the front range during their Uncorked Kitchen visit. Our server, Samantha was knowledgeable on the menu and quick to serve
We started off with two glasses of the The Hidden Sea, Chardonnay - a Fall White with structure & body.
The Hidden Sea, Chardonnay
The chardonnay had fruity notes of white peach, honeydew melon and lemon with a touch of pineapple and limestone. The wine had a juicy acidity with a soft texture on the palate.
For small plates we had the Savory Uncorked Butter Board, the Pork Belly Bites, the House Made Red Kuri Squash Cappelletti, the Citrus Beet Salad and the Artisan Cheese and Cured Meat Board.
The Savory Uncorked Butter Board was made with Sherry Butter, Garlic Confit, Pickled Shallot, Aleppo Pepitas & Crostini.
Savory Uncorked Butter Board
This was our first time having a butter board and it was amazing. The softened butter was spread onto a cutting board and garnished with seasonings, herbs & toppings. The butter was creamy, garlicky and had beautiful snap from the shallots and pepitas. We cleaned house on this butter board - truly there wasn’t any left when we were done with it. Uncorked Kitchen also has a sweet butter board that we can’t wait to go back in and try.
The Pork Belly Bites were made with Milk Braised Pork Belly, Zaa'tar, Apricot & Pomegranate Glaze.
Pork Belly Bites
The Pork Belly Bites were succulent and packed with flavor. The tangy, sweet pomegranate glaze was dark and sticky and beautifully balanced the fatty meatiness of the pork.
The House Made Red Kuri Squash Cappelletti was made with Red Kuri Squash, Mascarpone, Amoretti, Sage Brown Butter Cream Sauce & Aleppo Pepitas.
House Made Red Kuri Squash Cappelletti
The Cappelletti was fantastic. The Red Kuri Squash filling in the pasta was nutty & mildly sweet - very autumnal in taste.
The Citrus Beet Salad was made with Roasted Baby Beets, Candied Pickled Oranges, Almonds, Shaved Fennel, Manchego & Sherry Vinaigrette.
This salad was a refreshing mix of colorful & tangy flavors. The earthy beets were complimented by the acidity of the oranges and sherry.
The Artisan Cheese and Cured Meat Board was made with 2 Cheeses, 2 Meats, Olive Mix, Toasted Nuts, Pickled Cherries, House Made, Ale Mustard, Apple Butter & Crostini.
Artisan Cheese and Cured Meat Board
The smoked goat cheese was our favorite of the charcuterie board.
Big thanks to Uncorked Kitchen, Samantha, Abby Hagstrom, ALH Communications and Dope PR for hosting us!
