Tasting wine in Chicago is an any day event. No matter where you live, there are great places to enjoy a wine tasting and at a modest price.
If you are near the Loop, try Bin 36. Select a flight of whites, reds, or — my favorite — champagnes, while relaxing in a bright, contemporary atmosphere. Wines always taste better with food and Bin 36 has a nice bar menu from which to choose some tasty morsels.
In the Lakeview neighborhood, try 404 Wine Bar. Tucked in the back of Jack’s is a dark and cozy room filled with intimate seating clusters. A delicious cheese sampler pairs well with their wine tasting flights. Currently, they are featuring wines from Spain.
Those of you who live north and west can enjoy the new tasting room extension of The Wine Cellar. Grab a seat at the bar any Thursday through Sunday evening and enjoy tastings from their extensive wine and cheese selections.
