Brick & Mortar Dead? We Didn’t Get The Memo.
Are you in the Jackson Michigan area and need a place to pick up a wine to pair with that brisket that has been in the smoker all day?

We sell fine wine along with home brewing and wine making supplies. Whether you make your own or want to leave it to the professionals, there is no need to wait for a delivery truck, we have what you need in stock right now.
Chateau La Castillonne Red, our best selling wooden crate Bordeaux of all time, has a sibling. The red has been known for its consistent quality year in and year out. It is a classic 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that has crowd-pleasing brambly fruit notes, a dryness that lends it self well to pairing with a variety of foods without over powering them, and finishes with firm but gentle tannins.
Chateau La Castillonne White, says “Sauvignon Blanc” on the label but it likely also includes a small amount of Semillon, another important grape from the Bordeaux region responsible for rounding the edges and softening the citrus notes of the predominant grape, giving the resulting wine a luscious structure and mouth-feel.
Try either wine for $10.99 a bottle or grab a wooden crate of 12 bottles for just $108, a savings of almost $2 per bottle. While drier than a typical domestic wine, Bordeaux wines are typically lighter in alcohol and much lower in residual sugar, with minimal chemical adulteration for people who care about such things.

Did you know you can fit a wine store into a shoe box?
Amazing what you can accomplish when you hate your job. I was too naive and motivated to fail. I thought Jackson needed a wine and home-brewing store, so on January 26th 2004 I opened the doors of this tiny strip-mall unit on Wildwood Ave. Thanks to many of you and your neighbors who agreed that there was a hole in this market, Cork ‘n Cap quickly outgrew it’s starter home and moved to it’s present location on Lansing Avenue in 2007.

It seemed like a good idea at the time… Now I just make my own bread. Thanks for the starter Trish!

I am also often open on Monday and/or Tuesday and I am usually here by 8:30am or so on weekdays. If my car is in the parking lot, the cash register can run. Call 517-784-0687 to be sure.
If the “Open” signs are lit, the doors are open.
