Since I?ve been in the Food & Wine industry for the past 14 years upon graduating from college, many people have asked me the easiest way to learn more about wine. My favorite thing about wine, as well as beer and spirits, is that the best way to learn about them is to drink them! I?ve learned countless things about history, food, culture, and people through tasting wine. Below, I?ve listed some of Chicago?s best sources for free wine tastings.
Every Sunday afternoon, from 2pm ? 5pm, all three Lush locations have a free wine tasting. With a different theme every week as well as the skilled Lush staff available to answer any questions you may have, you can get a casual yet comprehensive introduction to the wines of the world.
University Village / 1257 S. Halsted / 312.738.1900
West Town / 1412 W. Chicago / 312.666.6900
Roscoe Village / 2232 W.Roscoe / 773.281.8888
With free tastings every Thursday from 6pm ? 8pm, as well as paid classes and events including a craft beer tasting in September, and both a wine and beer club, Wine Styles does it?s best to cultivate a well-informed consumer.
Wine Styles Belmont / 1433 W Belmont Ave /?773.549.2227
Wine Styles Evanston /?1741 Sherman Avenue /?847.328.4400
Free tastings on Fridays from 6pm ? 8pm, many hosted by local wine distributors, with a new series of tastings pairing wine with some of your favorite Chicago food finds starting Thursday Aug 23 at 7pm with food from Dee?s Restaurant for $25. The Poison Cup is actually a Wine & Art Boutique, allowing you take home artistry either in bottle or on canvas.

Get out there and drink!
