First time at Verve and went for their Burgers and Burgundy night. Wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect here. The menu had a few more items than expected so we each got the Ilixr burger and split some Gruyère fries. The burger was decent, but a little pricey for a pretty basic à la carte burger. I also wasn't a huge fan of the sauce and probably should've asked for no pickles. The Gruyère fries were also nothing special. Luckily we got the giardiniera on the side because it was pretty spicy. There were 4-5 wines to choose from and we both really liked the ones we picked! Would go back next time for just the wine and maybe to buy something or go to an event to learn more about wine.

What a gem of a wine destination in Joilet! The building itself is historic, beautiful and…read morecastle-like. The staff encourage you to explore the house before settling in to do a tasting. Each room had its own character. I loved hearing about the rich history of the building as well as how it became the tasting room it is today. There were four of us who visited. A tasting is $20 for (8) sample pours. I was surprised at how good each of the wines were! Our group's favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc, 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bishop's Blend. Jordan guided us through the tasting telling us about each wine and answering any questions we had. He did a great job at keeping our glasses full while also giving us space to enjoy. Overall, this is a great wine tasting option in the area!

The truffle popcorn was really yummy and definitely big enough to share. The variety is not what you'd find at some standard spot. This wine list is curated and it shows. Inside is cozy and inviting. Looking forward to trying more wine there again soon!

The class was affordable and was a great gift option too. We were in a small group maybe 10 people or so and we got to taste five different types of sparkling wine, including champagne and cava, while learning more about the along the way! The storefront itself is also very nice with a great selection of selected wines by the owner and none of the super big names you'd find at a box store. There is also a membership program you can be part of that has some cool travel opportunities too! Looking forward to other events and classes that they offer in the future!

Vicki does such a good job of acquiring wines that are different and absolutely delicious. Do a tasting, buy a glass, or a bottle...I highly recommend becoming a regular.

Love this wine shop!…read more Cute place right by the Jarvis red line. Nice light wood-themed interior, super friendly and talkative staff. The prices are fantastic as well. I've been a couple times for the Friday wine tastings and a couple times just for food and wine with friends. I've always loved everything I've tried from their rotating wine selection, and the flatbreads they offer make for a solid meal. I definitely expect to be back many times!

There was a very nice waiter who checked on me periodically. When I visited, they only had flatbread from the menu available, so I ended up eating somewhere else, but based on the shop and their menu, they have a lot of different wine and other beverage options so I hope to go back for happy hour soon.

There are not enough good things in the world to say about unMuddled! From the first correspondence…read moreto the handshake farewell of our wedding, Ross and his team were the most professional people I have ever worked with. I've been in the entertainment world in Chicago for 25 years, and I don't want to work with anyone else ever again. Ross and the team at unMuddled were honest, fair, and went above and beyond to not only make us feel special, but make our guests feel special. unMuddled cultivated a specialized menu for our wedding, and worked with us not only on the menu, but also helped us figure out what alcohol to buy. They crafted specialized cocktails for both the bride and groom, and honestly stole the show in the best way possible: they didn't need any tending to. When I first reached out to Ross, I immediately felt at ease, and never once worried about how our wedding would turn out. Ross, I hope you read these reviews... I can't thank you enough for helping to make our wedding the night it was. You're the best.

John did a perfect job at our recent housewarming party…read more He showed up early and eager to prepare the bar prior to the arrival of our first guests. Not only was he great at the bar, but he also helped out by walking around with a platter asking guests if he could swap and refresh their cocktails. He kept the bar stocked (and restocked from our basement) during the party so that we could enjoy time with our friends. He also did a great job cleaning up at the end of the night. John is a true professional who treats others with kindness and care. Not only will we be using his services in the future, but multiple friends mentioned that they will be hiring him as well for future celebrations!
