A European-flavored food and wine shop in Rogers Park spoils the locals with tastings and gourmet eats.

In Short
This little slice of Europe right off the Jarvis stop on the Red Line doubles as a wine and food emporium as well as a gathering spot for oenophiles. Divided by wines, beers and delicacies, the store caters to epicurean lust. On the right hand side, deep Bordeaux walls are adorned by dreamy flowery paintings and wooden boxes stacked with wine bottles from around the world. The left side of the store is a cheery yellow, with nudes and other lush artwork luring patrons to the feta, Brie, chocolates, smoked salmon, olives, chocolates, crackers and more high-end treats.
