The Scene
Gleaming hardwood floors, exposed brick and subtly elegant seating meet under soft, subdued lighting on both floors. Smooth grooves and soft back-beat stylings add to the warmth. The clientele resembles a refined neighborhood crowd, including couples fresh from dinner at nearby restaurants. The staff is polite and wise to the ways of wine, which is good, because you'll probably need some help charting the extensive menu.
The Draw
Choose your wine by the glass or the tasting, or order a flight. All wines are stored away from damaging UV rays and held in a temperature-controlled cellar for the premium flavor experience. Sample an extensive assortment of cheeses, artisanal breads, charcuterie and desserts. Order them a la carte or by the flight, served with homemade fruit compote, fresh apple and pear, and toasted nuts.

A wine for every taste - and even wines for those without taste. Vast wine selection, largest by-the-glass list in the city. It's great that their wine store is right next door, super easy to pick up a bottle of whatever it is you just enjoyed.

This may be one of the best experiences I've had in a very very long time. I had been here a few years back, and I remembered very little about it, but I will remember The Tasting Room now!!! First of all the room is beautiful...dark & warm with a warm candlelit glow. A Beautiful view of the chicago sky line...and our server wasn't too hard on the eyes either....wink. I'm a bit of a wine nerd I know, but I was blown away by the wine list they seemed to have hundreds of wines (had to be over 500) and offered them all by the glass or if you'd like they offer everything by the 'taste'. The main thing that impressed me though with the wine list wasn't the amount of wines, or even the myriad of eclectic bottles, (we've all seen that)...it was the prices...Webster's, Bin 36, Avec....There is no one in the city with wine prices like these...it seemed every glass of wine I had was 3 or four buck cheaper than the other guy. I know three or four buck isn't much, but trust me, it adds up! anyway I'm done rambling, let's just say i loved it and leave it at that....
