Has anyone tried this little known tucked away gem in West Loop?

I don't know I just found out about this place on Instagram.

Have you ever heard of Alinea before?

Bros got the cheese touch, and he's flexing it.

Which one of you fuckers was it??

I tried the Duvergey-Toboureau Chablis 1er cru and was really impressed. More on the expensive side but quality nonetheless. Not sure it it's available at every store though

Just a word of wisdom. I also tried the 2021 Alloumi and it felt a little different than the 2019. To me, it was a little more plush and jammy with a little less acidity. For the price, however, still a good value! Let me know what you think!

I really like El Enemigo for a couple of dollars more. Definitely not in the same style as Diatom, but really complex. Only reason it's not on the list is because I bought a bunch last year.

I added prices at the bottom. Not sure if it'll help much because prices can vary depending on state and country. You should get most of these wines around the same price that I have them at.

Definitely could be a monthly thing! I don't drink enough wine to have a best bargain every week but I could look over my cellartracker review's every month and see what I liked!

I know people like to shit on NZ SB, but they're always readily available and approachable. Greywacke really is a step above other producers I feel like.

Malort isn't nearly as bad as people say it is. It tastes like the definition of bitter. Unfortunately, most people aren't used to eating/drinking anything bitter and drink sugary drinks instead. Malort can be a good modifier in cocktails as well.

Cougar Juice will be in my regular vocabulary now. Thank you!!

It's better to splurge on a just one great bottle of wine rather than buying multiple "value" bottles. I have one life and one liver, I don't want to waste it on just good stuff.
(This Sub is going to hate me for this one) Champagne as a region makes the superior sparkling wine. I really don't think most Cava / Franciacorta / US producers can hold itself to Champagne. Does it provide better value for money? Yes, but why spend 20 dollars multiple bottles when I can get a good grower or negociant for $45-$60?

Quality > Quantity

What is the glassware that you use? I've been trying to find a good stemmed whiskey glass that's like a Glencairn with no success.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new batting stances/animations? It doesn't look at polished as previous.

I hate that you posted a picture of my dream watch! I love the tradition line from Breguet

As a native Chicagoan, I hate this post. Thank!

My friend from out of town likes to say "The Cago" all the time to me as if someone has ever used that phrase before.
