The East Bay has a healthy dose of destination-worthy wine bars that showcase domestic and international bottles, flights and wines by the glass, from Residual Sugar and Va De Vi, both in Walnut Creek, to Oakland’s acclaimed Snail Bar and Daytrip, which specialize in natural wines.
But the area hasn’t had a place specifically designed for bubbly-sipping, until this year.
Fizz, a Champagne bar located in Sacramento, is making its way to 1652 Bonanza St., the former Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea in downtown Walnut Creek, with a planned fall opening, says Fizz founder Raymond James. When it opens, hopefully in September, Fizz Walnut Creek will feature more than 150 different Champagnes by the bottle, 25 different Champagnes and sparkling wines by the glass and a menu of flights with names such as “Baller” and “Champagne in the Membrane.”
Like the original in Sacramento, Fizz will also offer a menu of bubbly-friendly bites, like oysters, caviar and duck fat fries.
Irwin, a certified sommelier, says he wants to change people’s perceptions of Champagne and sparkling wine as a special-occasion beverage. One of the ways he plans to do that is with a pick-up or delivery Champagne club, which gives members access to unique and boutique bottles not available to the general public. The Sacramento Fizz opened four years ago and boasts a 450-member club.
Members also get store discount for all purchases, access to invitation-only events, and opportunities to accompany Irwin on his sourcing trips to the Champagne region. He says locals can get on that list for Walnut Creek before the bar opens and receive access to pre-opening parties. To learn more, visit fizzwalnutcreek.com
