Tasting Tuesday at Zephyr Grill & Bar with Corteza Vineyards.
Wine lovers in Brentwood, mark your calendars—something special is pouring your way. Zephyr Grill and Bar is kicking off its very first Tasting Tuesday of 2026, and they’re starting strong by welcoming Corteza Vineyards, a family-owned, award-winning winery from Contra Costa County. This exclusive wine tasting event brings together exceptional local wine, great food, and a relaxed, social atmosphere that’s perfect for a weeknight treat.
On this special evening, Corteza Vineyards will be on site at Zephyr Grill & Bar, offering complimentary tastings of a curated selection of their wines. It’s a rare opportunity to sample multiple wines, discover new favorites, and connect directly with the people behind the bottles—all without leaving Brentwood.
Meet Corteza Vineyards: Local, Family-Owned, Award-Winning
Corteza Vineyards is a family-run vineyard rooted right here in Contra Costa County. Known for their commitment to quality, sustainability, and expressive wines, Corteza has quickly earned a reputation for producing standout bottles that reflect the region’s warm climate and unique growing conditions.
Their wines are fruit-forward, vibrant, and approachable, making them ideal for both seasoned wine enthusiasts and those still discovering their palate. One wine in particular has been turning heads: the 2023 Grenache Noir, which earned a Double Gold medal at the 2026 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition—one of the most respected wine competitions in the country. During Tasting Tuesday, guests will have the chance to taste this award-winning Grenache and understand firsthand why it’s receiving so much attention.

This event is designed to be casual, welcoming, and fun—no wine snobbery here. As you arrive at Zephyr Grill & Bar, you’ll be greeted with the chance to enjoy complimentary wine tastings from Corteza Vineyards while soaking in the restaurant’s comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

As an added bonus, guests will receive $10 off every bottle purchased during the event—making it the perfect time to treat yourself or pick up a bottle to enjoy later.
Even better, the Corteza Vineyards team will be on hand to chat about their wines, the vineyard, and what makes Contra Costa County such a special place for grape growing.
