our Story

Welcome to Cork & Barrel, the culmination of a lifetime striving for inner peace and reinvention.

As busy entrepreneurs with a portfolio of vested interests, the ultimate goal is to wind down in our mature years and enjoy a relaxing and rewarding passion of sharing our heightened interest in wine, whiskey, and great pairings.

Leaving the fast-paced business of a 24/7 emergency service provider, we were being called to reinvent ourselves yet remain a vital asset to our community.

Residing in Franklin Tennessee for years, we discovered a world of social networks that lead to plush wine lounges, exuberant whiskey bars, satisfying cigar rooms, and eccentric food choices.

We were drawn to put our creative process to work at home, in Angola Indiana, and welcome you to our version of the ‘Luxe Lounge’, a place to relax with friends while sipping delights and nibbling on perfect accompaniments. Enjoy!
