California Cuisine

Welcome to the Cork Tree. We hope that you will find our wines as enjoyable as our food. Just as the Chef features California Cuisine on the menu, our wine list will focus on the wines of California along with neighboring West Coast, and Canada.

For your enjoyment our wines will be listed from sweet and light-bodied wines with little acidity, oak and tannins to semi-sweet and medium-bodied wines with light acidity, oak and tannins and then to dry and full-bodied wines with distinctive acidity, oak and tannins.

Congratulations to these local wine enthusiasts who have been a welcome source of knowledge and encouragement.

What People are Saying

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! I had the Wedge Salad appetizer and the Scallops entree. The salad was fresh and the blue cheese dressing was plentiful and very flavorful with nice big cheese crumbles. The scallops were perfectly prepared with just the right seasoning. I’m still full and already can’t wait to visit here again. Definitely on my must visit list for my next trip to Palm Desert.
