Is it just me, or is Ferguson getting a whole lotta love lately? First Ray Hill starts showing up everywhere, then the Post-Dispatch names our fair city a Hip Hood. Now, CORK Wine Bar is sharing one of its delicious recipes with KMOV and Sauce Magazine! If you haven’t seen the clip yet, check it out. The recipe, for sweet and savory bar nuts, is actually perfect for upcoming holiday parties!
CORK Wine Bar opens in Ferguson

I’m a tough customer when it comes to restaurants. It’s not that I’m a food snob – my tastes are really pretty simple. Where I draw the line is atmosphere.
I want cozy. I want unique. And I want a place that shines with the love and quirkiness of the people who created it. Blueberry Hill offers that. So do the Venice Cafe and Shangri-La Diner.
In a world filled with bland chain restaurants, it’s a beautiful thing to find. And that’s why I’m thrilled and proud to say that it has finally come to my neighborhood!
CORK Wine Bar is the type of place that no one expects to find in North County – smart, sophisticated, casually elegant. In fact, when my friend Mike Lonero first started talking about opening a wine bar in Ferguson, plenty of people told him it would never work.
But Lonero, who also owns Vincenzo’s Italian Ristorante at 242 S. Florissant Rd, believed that an upscale bar could not only survive in NoCo, but thrive. And he was right. Since opening in late September, CORK has drawn steady crowds and rave reviews.
