Ordinaire, Natural wine bar in Grand Lake District, Oakland, US.

Ordinaire is a wine shop in Oakland's Grand Lake District that features organic wines from small producers across California, France, Italy, and Germany, made without chemical additives. The space serves both as a retail store and a tasting room where chefs organize informal dining events.

Bradford Taylor founded the venue in September 2013, choosing its name from the French term vin ordinaire, which refers to everyday wines shared in bistros. The concept builds on the French tradition of valuing simple but quality wines for casual enjoyment.

The place draws inspiration from Parisian wine shops and welcomes guests to sample wines while partnering with chefs for informal dining events. This approach creates a gathering spot where people come together around approachable, quality wines.

Ordinaire occupies a 3,000-sq-ft former gym on Grand Avenue in the Grand Lake District, at the northwest corner of Lake Merritt. It serves small sides such as cheese, charcuterie and sardines to pair with wine, and periodically reopens as the pop-up Bistro Ordinaire. The shop is a retail counter and bar in one, so visitors can buy bottles or stay to drink.

The name Ordinaire comes from vin ordinaire, everyday wine that winemakers serve friends unbottled in bistros. The shop was nearly called The Red Whale until a cease-and-desist letter from a coffee business forced a change shortly before opening. Taylor and his wife Nicole Betenia rented a 3,000-sq-ft former gym on Grand Avenue and began renovations in October 2012.
