Elite Event: FLIGHT Wine Bar

Went to this wonderful place for my first Unilocal elite event with my mom! Flight wine bar is a quaint place next to the Mission Pizza and Pub with tables of goodies for everyone to share and/​or take home.
The selection of wine provided is amazingly diverse and and the man who helped us out knew very well what to offer according to our tastes in wine. My mom and I really liked the don Rodolfo 2013 tannat red wine and the pedroncelli rose. The don Rodolfo was a wine that you could only get from a certain part of Argentina and tasted amazingly light and refreshing – probably the best red wine I’ve ever had! The rose was light as well, and sweet – just the way we liked it!
As for the food, I loved the salami crostini! The leaf, cheese paste, salami, and crostini base worked so well together – especially with the refreshing taste of the leaf! They also had dutch crunch sandwiches, vegetable crostinis, prosciutto, and bowls of nuts! The lady serving the samplers was also very nice and always there for anything you needed!
Overall, it was a great and fun experience trying the food, meeting new awesome people, discovering more about other amazing brands of wine that exist from all over the world, and getting Unilocal branded items! I will probably come back if I’m ever in the need of a cool wine suggestion or a salami crostini!
I loved this Unilocal elite event and hopefully will be able to go to more! Thanks for letting me come!

Yet another fun-​filled event thrown by our imperious East Bay Community Manager Stephanie Y. aka Yo Steph! So glad a friend and I got an opportunity to drive a little further south in our fair East Bay and finally venture to an event in the fair Fremont area of the old «E.B» and a sensational new wine bar at that.
Shout out to the owners of FLIGHT, Wine Bar & Café, Jimmy and Bayman for treating us to a plethora of free wines from around the world and bites from right here in our backyard. It was so wonderful that we got to experience this exciting new adventure that these just opened up in the heart of Silicon Valley. Imagine this used to be a boba shop and now it’s trendy wine bar? That’s a conversion I can definitely get behind!
From the moment my friend and I walked in, we knew we were among friends. With sweet reds and white wines from merlots to pinots to chardonnays we knew we were in wine heaven. And then there was the abundance of food from their veggie crostini with tomato, red onion, avocado on crunchy butter bread to their grilled dutch turkey roll sandwiches on rustic bread to prosciutto with soft bread to even freshly made onion rings we were able to sample everything from their new in house menu. And all of it tasted absolutely delicious!
From tasting all of the food and wine what better way to enjoy ourselves in our first ever Elite event in Fremont. That mixed with meeting and mingling with many new Elite East Bay Unilocalers at this event you couldn’t go wrong on this day, well except if you were watching the Raiders game in the background, which thankfully did not put a damper on the day’s festivities. So let’s raise a glass to FLIGHT Wine Bar and a long successful run at the Ohlone Village Shopping Center in Fremont, may all Unilocaler Elites enjoy themselves here for many years to come!

What better way to get over jet lag than getting out of the bed to attend an awesome Unilocal event?! If plenty of finger snacks if that weren’t enough incentive, there’s plenty of wine to go around. I’m also happy to discover this place — will definitely be visiting it in the future for the live music nights (Fri — Sat).
Sierra — if you see this, it was awesome meeting you! Thanks for offering to help with my Canadian passport predicament. I’ll SYOY (or the next event)!

WINE, WINE, WINE! Definitely the highlight of this awesome Elite Event hosted at the Flight Wine Bar in Fremont. Flight Wine Bar is located in a small plaza with a decent amount of parking spaces.
Flight graciously offered Unilocalers many small bites such as sandwiches on Dutch Crunch bread, Crostinis, Prosciutto, Cheese, bread, onion rings with sweet chili sauce, and many other small bites that go well with either red or white wine!
Bayman, our «wine server» offered many different types of wine and all were very interesting in their own way :) I think by far my favorites were the French and California Cabernet just because I’m a huge fan of Cab. Other wines were offered such as Tannat, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blac, etc. All I could see that day was pinkie up from left to right ;)
A few of the Unilocal SWAG was passed out such as a Unilocal wine bottle opener and a portable phone charger. YAY.
It was great to see a lot of new faces! I met a few Unilocalers whose first event was this one. Welcome! :) Also really nice to see a lot of familiar faces as well.
Huge thanks to Flight Wine Bar for having us on a warm Sunday afternoon, Stephanie for creating such an awesome event and also Sierra for welcoming us! :)
Yet again, an amazing YEE :)

Love love LOVE! I was super excited when I saw an Elite Event was going hosted on a weekend; I got even more excited when I saw that it was going to be hosted in my ‘hood!
I had heard a few things about FLIGHT, but I’ve never bothered to try. (Fun fact: this place used to be a boba/​Asian dessert shop, so if you see my review on their original Unilocal page and it mentioned those things… that’s why.) This event gave me a good excuse to check it out.
FLIGHT wined and dined us like crazy — bottomless wine was being poured and delicious food was being served. I especially liked that they brought out small plates of food to each table rather than leaving it somewhere or else carrying a tray around. This way, everyone is guaranteed to get some noms!
The wine selection was huge; I don’t even remember everything that I tried! The one that sticks out, though, is the Argentinian white wine — Bayman (our wine pourer) explained that it’s a wine that is rare to find in America, and the flavor was sharp with a bit of spice. Not your usual white wine! I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture of the bottle.
The food was plentiful, beginning with the classic nuts and cheese on the table as we walked in. (That cheese, btw, was BOMB. No idea what it was.) Then, plate after plate of crostinis and sandwiches came out, and the final blow was onion rings with a sweet chili sauce. Yummmm.
While there weren’t a lot of people at this event, I think that I prefer it this way. I’m usually overwhelmed by the masses of people at Unilocal events, so it was nice to have a somewhat intimate-​ish time to get to know people.
Thanks for an amazing event, Stephanie! (And yay for finally meeting in person AND CONGRATS on getting married!!) Looking forward to the next one :)

After stuffing my face at Sen Dai for lunch, all I wanted to do was get comfortable in front of my TV to watch some Sunday Football. But Mitty C. texted me to see if I wanted to attend an Unilocal Elite Event at FLIGHT Wine Bar (conveniently located 7 minutes away from me).
Watch the OT of the tied Seahawks vs Saints game or go check out the new wine bar in Fremont??? Tough decision. However, Mitty convinced me to go when he told me there were about 7 TVs there that showed the football games. #priorities
Located in a plaza that used to only be cracking because of all the abundant tutoring programs, I was pleasantly surprised that I had to look for parking on a Sunday afternoon! The venue is pretty cute with communal tables, smaller tables, and coffee tables with sofas.
This event is like the perfect date — wine and dined with good company. ;) The winetender Bayman kept our glasses filled, even after the event ended! Plates and plates of crostinis, sandwiches, cheese/​meats, and onion rings were brought out to the tables.
It was awesome meeting more UC Davis Unilocal Elites at this event. So awesome that we planned a Girls’ Night Out at FLIGHT Wine Bar in a few weeks!
Very excited to be able to attend the first YEE in Fremont! Thank you Stephanie Y. for planning such a fantastic event!

I’m a simple guy who loves to get wined and dined and FLIGHT did exactly that. This event was a great way to wine-​d down the week.
The words «bottomless, wine and me» should not be all in the same sentence, but… it happened anyways. My god. These guys know how to pick their wines. While I’m no wine connoisseur, I at least know decent wine from dirt cheap ones and these were definitely good wine! I think I tried almost, if not all, of the wines. From the French Cabernet to the California cabernet to merlot, syrah, Tannat, pinot noir, sauvignon blac, and chardonnay (both of them), my pinkie was raised way up high. (Tryna get my fancy on yenno) Huge shoutout to Bayman, the guy pouring the wine. He was really knowledgeable about the wine and was super cool!
The small bites were absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the different sandwiches on the warm and dutch crunch bread. The crosstinis, prosciutto and cheese all complimented the wine perfectly. The onion rings went really well with the sweet chili sauce. Man we really were wined and dined.
Unilocal swag this time included a portable phone charger and a wine bottle opener!
It was really nice to see some familiar faces who I have not seen in a while! Also it was nice meeting some of the new Elites; congrats again to you guys!
Thanks again to Steph and the folks at FLIGHT for the amazing event! Now that I know about this place, I’ll probably come back in the future… maybe crash girls night?! Who knows: P

I LOVEEEE partying with my East Bay Unilocal Lovers!
What a diverse crowd! I was so excited when I heard the news that I would be a +1 to this event. I love Wine Tasting but I especially love wine tasting when it’s close to my home and I don’t have to go all the way to Napa which is an hour or more in order to have some good wine.
I had never been to this part of Fremont before and would have never known about it if it wasn’t for this Unilocal event.
We arrived to the event and was greeted by the lovely Sierra ( Unilocal’s newest East Bay Intern) and she scanned us in!
When walking in I noticed this was a Wine and Bar! Noiceee! The atmosphere inside was nice and relaxing with comfy seating arrangements as you walk in and a bar in the back. I greeted by the lovely CM Stephanie and after was introduced to some new Unilocalers! Yayy!
Unilocal Swag was provided and included a Wine opener and a Unilocal charger!
Bayman was the Bartender and server for the afternoon and was VERY helpful in letting me know what wines to taste. They offered red or white wines but since I’m more of a, «white wine» type of chick I stuck with what I knew. All the wines were very good!
We had the fabulous Emily come out with all the good food! Sandwiches, bruschetta, the YUMMY onion rings that went VERY well with the sweet chilli sauce and bread! OMG! My mouth is watering up just thinking about it! Everything was delicious and mixed very well with the wines! I loved that they also had a TV in the bar area so your able to catch up on the latest shows while you relax and drink wine. I enjoyed meeting the owner Johnny who was really nice and stated he would love to hear any recommendations or suggestions from the company!
They also have Movie night and Live Jazz night! I will definitely be returning back sooner than later! Thank you to the lovely Stephanie that had me be part of this UH-​MAZING event!
Until next time!

This was my first Unilocal East Bay event, and it was so wonderful! I wasn’t sure what to expect from a wine bar in Fremont but it was the cutest spot. Tons of seating and extremely friendly servers/​bartenders! My friend and I got to try 4 amazing wines, and munch on some delicious small bites. The avocado/​tomato toasts were so so good! I’m so glad there are cute spots like this far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I would love to come back if I am in the area. Everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable and laid back, making for a very enjoyable event. Thank you for organizing, Stephanie!

I met Stephanie! Finally. She’s a whole bunch of awesome.
So is this the event.
Bottomless wine from Bayman and great customer service from Emily.
A little lose off the goose.
But that never hurt nobody!
Meeting new people is always fun.

So much fun!!!
Loved getting to check out this local new wine bar. Such a fun find.
I honestly loved every single wine I tried. Which I definitely won’t say about every wine. The rose and the Argentinian white wine especially were my favorites. I was asking the owner all kinds of questions about where he gets his wine and it was super interesting to talk to him.
Also that cheese!!! I wasn’t sure what kind it was but it was amazing!!! The prosciutto and bread paired wonderfully with the wine and made a less hungry belly a happy Courtney.
Will definitely be back to check it out! Saw live jazz and Tuesday move nights!

Finally an event that’s actually close to home!
So much fun, with BOTTOMLESS WINE, lots of small bites, and meeting many new friends and fellow Unilocal elites! There were so many wines to choose from that I basically tried them all. After trying the sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, tannat, pinot noir, merlot, french cabernet sauvignon, cali cab, syrah, etc I was definitely a fan of the french cabernet and Tannat!
The small bites were really yummy too! Loved the crostinis and the sandwiches. Oh and the onion rings were surprisingly really good with the sweet chili sauce. It was so nice to meet many of the local Unilocal elites as well as a few who just got their red badge! They were all so friendly and know how to have a good time.
Special thanks to Stephanie for planning this event and Bayman for serving all of us! Also thanks for the Unilocal swag! I really liked the Unilocal external phone charger. Super useful! I’m so glad I now know about this place and I would love to come back. I can’t wait for the next YEE because they keep getting better and better!

Finally got to meet the very friendly Stephanie…
drank wine… check
ate nibbles… check
talked to fellow Unilocalers… check
thanks Unilocal, and Stephanie!
