Our craft beer selection is bar none the best around in the Western Suburbs. Thanks for your comments on our ‘Yelp’ page…we appreciate your feedback and welcome your requests!
“This store has a great selection of beers. The liquor and wine selection is great too. You can pretty much find whatever your looking for and maybe something new if your feeling adventurous.” – Patrick from Chicago
“This place has everything I like, suitable for many price ranges! They get in beers that are hard to find. I was really impressed when I wanted PumKing beer, and they offered to call me when it actually came in, and reserve me some bottles until I was able to stop by— and they actually followed through on that!” – Susanne from LaGrange
Traditions give us comfort. 2020 traditions have morphed into the new normal, changing your focal point to new ideas and smaller gatherings. In the past traditions surround you with a warm and fuzzy feeling, especially around the holidays. Unfortunately we have had to pivot our ideas of traditions in 2020 to stay safe, but that doesn’t mean that wine can’t still be involved. Small holiday gatherings take extra planning and care. For in-person small gatherings, let your guests know ahead of time what you will be doing and your expectations for creating safe in-person holiday or social gatherings in your home. Limited gathering to a manageable number of people for which social distancing is possible before, during, and after the meal can relieve some of the stress. By now the safest way to get together is virtual, that maybe an option also. Think of sending the same wine to your relatives and toast together while Zooming.
While most guests will be happy as long as their glasses are full, pouring a variety of wines, from sparkling to red, is a basic consideration as a host. Go for food-friendly options that pair nicely with all those sweet, tart and earthy tastes on a traditional Thanksgiving table. The most versatile wines have generous fruit and are low in tannin, oak and alcohol, with plenty of juicy acidity to refresh taste buds.
Wine conversations are far more entertaining than political shouting matches—and a great way to divert a relative’s inquisition as to why you’re still single or when you’re going to have children.
When wine is involved, nothing is difficult.
Savor the meal. Savor the moments. Happy Thanksgiving.
