This place is permanently closed and it makes me so sad. We came in around Christmas time back in 2018 and sat at the bar. Our bartender was friendly and extremely knowledgeable of wines and poured us the best glasses of Riesling we have ever tasted. We also had olives with some sort of bread and cheese that I cannot remember the name of, but I do remember that it was excellent. Truly wish we could go here again.
I love coming here for wine and chocolate! I would not say this is a place for dinner, but it is perfect for happy hour, nightly recap, or casual drinks. Quiet intimate atmosphere with great service. I know I have said it before, but don't forget the chocolates. Smoke salted caramel and tonka are my favorites! We have taken multiple friends and family-never disappoints.
I came here for a ladies outing and we had a good time. The wine here was tasty but the cheese, and chocolates stole the show. We had black truffle sea salt, sea salted caramel, and German chocolate. The cheese were brie and cheddar. I recommend going and viewing the menu as the website did not match the restaurant. They also have great happy hour options for wine and flat breads which were delicious.
Wine was great, meat and cheeses were well paired, and the live music was much better than a lot of places! I have been a couple of times but last time was for apps while waiting for a table at another restaurant.
Staff was great and very helpful... We got a charcuterie tray of cheeses, meats and they also threw in bread with nuts and almonds on the plate. Had to chastise them for not having that info on menu as my companion is allergic to nuts. They did a great thing and did not charge us for the appetizer. We also got the sea salt chocolate sampler. Was delicious. Especially the Ecuadorian chocolate with internal Carmel. Heavenly.
Pleasantly surprised by this place. We happened by it and I'm glad we did. Great wine list, delicious small plates, and their chocolate is fantastic! Great sevice as well. I will be back next time I'm in Chicago.
Relaxing place with some different wines to try. I recommend the temperanillo flight as well as the avocado and tomato hummus. I did not try the truffles, but you can get a truffle flight to pair with the wine and the different options sounded amazing.
Situated right on Michigan avenue, adjacent the MJ restaurant, this wine spot is an effing gem in Chicago! Their happy is lit AF and it's essentially Napa valley on the mag mile. Amazing wine selections and very knowledgeable staff! Just tell them the kinda wine you're craving (something fruity, something with some pine nut notes..whatever you want) and they will fulfill those dreams!
GREAT wine selection. The chocolate was delightful

It's a bit pricey, but the offer is quite special. The flights are an excellent way of getting to know your wines, and the offerings in terms of accompanying food are solid: cold meats & cheeses, but also pizza made to original recipes and other main courses. Wait staff was good on a recent visit, even though the place was bustling.
