The Chicago Wine Report

The Chicago Wine Report focuses on the community of people who sell and drink wine throughout the Chicago area. We sip, we report, and we share what we know with wine geeks, wine fans, wine newbies, and, of course, the people who operate wine bars, wine shops, and wine-focused establishments throughout the area.

One way that we do this is through this very platform: Substack. We publish regular newsletters that cover Chicago wine news and report on our visits to venues and, of course, our own impressions of the wines we taste during the week.

We offer free and paid subscription options, though our bi-weekly newsletters and podcast are and will always be free. Click the button below to learn more:
