The Experience, Emeryville: Bay St Emeryville Copper & Malt

The Experience:

Flights of Wine + Chocolate anyone?

Emeryville has its own Brewery – wonderful Wondrous Brewing and now, its own Wine Bar.

Walk into newly opened Copper & Malt at Bay St and Somms (Sommeliers) will guide you through an extraordinary wine tasting that you can even pair with chocolate. And besides the wine bar in this shop, every spirit here has a story.

“We like to tell the stories behind our wines and spirits,” says co-owner Ashley Sandhu. “Our Somms, each with 35 years’ experience, curated our wine experience with a mix of domestic and international wines.” Love the buttery chardonnays? They’ve got one for you. Don’t love the buttery chardonnays, they have a French chardonnay for you. And more. Shelves boast unique beers from around the globe. Grab a beer, come sit at the bar and explore that country.

Look around and you will see that Copper & Malt is also a lovely gift shop. Something for everyone in your life. Artisan chocolates with single ingredient origins. International beers, wines from around the globe, California, Oregon and more. Top shelf spirits and cigars. Unique non-alcoholic beverages. They worked hard on sourcing these special offerings.

Prior to opening their dream shop, Ashley and husband Harparam Sandhu produced a health enhancing sparkling beverage called Skin H2O. Delicious and refreshing with the secret health enhancing ingredient in red wine, without the alcohol – Resveratrol!

Get down to Bay St for your very own wine journey and perhaps do some shopping. They look forward to starting a conversation!
