What People Are Saying About Just Grapes

In Short – Whether you're looking for a bottle of Yalumba Viognier from Australia or a Barossa Valley Estate Spires Shiraz, a lack of selection is not a problem here. The shop, which partnered with the Wine Spectator School to offer informative, vino-based classes, focuses on luxurious bottles from small artisan producers. Wines are divided by varietal--from lightest to fullest bodied.

Best Litttle Wine Shop in Chicago

The best selection in wines. The owner wades through the world of wines to make it a managable 300+ affair. It is like having your own private wine cellar with fantastic wine values. The shop has a great urban loft feel. A very cool place to hangout and sip wine. The tasting machines are awesome. You have to stop in and try them. The classes are well done and you can walk away with some great wine knowledge.
- Pros: Great Wines, Tasting Machines, Fantastic Classes
- Cons: Limited Parking

This isn't a collector's haven, but it's an amazing place to find delicious wines to entertain with or enjoy right away. They specialize in finding under-exposed wines from small vineyards all over the world. I've found major steals for $9-14 that taste much more sophisticated and have started taking their classes too. It's opened me up to trying grapes that aren't as popular in the US, so they're an excellent steal. Can't recommend it enough.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Education, Friendly
- Cons: Location, Parking tough
