After a hard week of work, there is nothing better than winding down with a nice glass of wine. So when a dear friend of mine invited me to try Wine Down with her, I immediately jumped to the opportunity. Why have I not known about this sooner! This is a true Chicago hidden treasure and would be great for any date!
On the Mezzanine Level at the Water Tower on Michigan Avenue, Wine Down is held the first Friday of every month at Food Life, the urban dining venue for shoppers. For only $15, you get to try 20 different types of wines and enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres. A lady we meet in line informed us she has been doing this for 10 years! We immediately knew we had stumbled across something good.
Upon arrival, you receive a little cheat sheet of all the wine selections and their bottle purchase price at every table. So if you taste a wine you like, it can be purchased right there at the market. Love it!
Bounce from table to table sampling anything you would like! The tastings are limitless and we tried so many yummy new vinos. They had red, white, sparkling, mixed, cheap and expensive. Truly something for everyone.
