About us

Fatcork is a Champagne importer, retail shop and wine club owned and operated by a small, close-knit team that includes founders, Bryan and Abby Maletis. For our retail clients, fatcork operates a brick-and-mortar wine cave, an online bottle shop and a flexible tasting space. But, the heart of the business is our Champagne club, where customers can choose from three membership tiers (4, 6, and 12 bottles) to have the world’s most delicious Champagne shipped directly to their door four times a year. Although you don’t need to join the club to purchase fatcork Champagne, members enjoy lots of extra benefits like member pricing for tasting events in our Seattle Champagne cave, educational materials, retail bottle benefits and member-exclusive pricing for certain bottles.
