Bryan Gauthier, owner of the Oakton Wine Shop and Bistro, focuses on three things: wine, food, family and friends in order to make your celebration perfect by finding the right wines for your guests and pairing them well for your celebration.
Bryan met with Tracey Barrett and described several aspects of how the Oakton Wine Shop & Bistro can serve you. Check out the five-part series below.
Holiday Gift Guide: Wine, Food, Family & Friends.
Bryan and the staff at OWS will help you pick the perfect wine for a gift, meal or special occasion.
OWS: Flights! “Say What?!” and “Damn I would never buy it but I’d sure love to try it!”
Quite possibly Tracey’s favorite option at OWS, flights! If you have always wanted to try wine from regions you cannot pronounce then the “Say What?!” flight is for you. Is there a high-end, luxury wine you have never tried because the price tag is too steep? Well then the “Damn I would never buy it but I’d sure love to try it!” flight is perfect.
OWS: Wine of the Month Clubs – Perfect gift that keeps on giving
OWS: Dining in the Bistro and Corkage Fees for Stocked Wines
With an incredible menu OWS offers a wonderful opportunity for a gourmet meal paired with any of the wines found in the Shop! So not only do you get chef prepared foods, you can buy the wine to go with it at retail price (that is right, no restaurant mark up) and pay a $9 corkage fee. What you do not drink (seriously does that happen?) you can cork and take home.
Enjoy specials from Tailgate Ted where $1 of your meal goes to Heros Inc. Also look for themed wine dinners each month. Enjoy your meal in an intimate setting in the bistro that seats 32.
OWS: Leadership and Philanthropy
As Spiderman learned, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Bryan feels it is his duty as a business leader to give back to the community. He works with Heros, Inc., Amy’s Army, Service Source, Luke’s Wings, Inova Blood Drives, Fairfax County Animal Shelter, Wreaths Across America and more each year to reinvest in the community that has made his business such a success.
