    bottles of wine and corks
    Jordan B.

    Dear Yelpers, Some may say it's the wine talking...but stop #4 on day 3 of the wine tour was easily the best stop of the weekend! We had the pleasure of making it just in time and getting a personal lesson from the founder and wine expert Warner himself. It was basically a free wine tasting class filled with fun stories, interesting facts, and of course, great wine. Personally I was a fan of the Super Tuscan. My wife enjoyed the Cab Franc. But all of us Rosé haters LOVED the Touché Rosé. Talk about a fitting name. The small feel made this place stand out from all the other over-commercialized wineries and truly showed the beauty of unique and complex wines. Not to mention you can't beat the price!! Your friendly neighborhood wino

    My favorite wine of the tasting

    Decided to try out this place after finding it on Groupon. I had a great experience with my tasting. I was able to schedule my tasting right through the Groupon app. The owner is very passionate about his business and he treated all guests well. Sometimes places treat their wine club members better but I was happy this was not the case. The tasting consisted of 5 samples, one of which was a cider. Overall I enjoyed all of the wines. With the Groupon I purchased we also got a bottle. It was a nice experience and didn't feel rushed. Something fun to do.

    This adorable little tucked away winery is a can't miss! It's attached to a nice brewery/taproom which is larger but just as cozy. You do need to enter in a side door or through the main taproom/restaurant to get here. Side note- heard the food is delish. Once you enter the winery room you will see it's low lit and warm and friendly. The perfect escape with friends or on a date. There are a few tables and some cozy chairs. They have a great tasting of 4 wines for about $15. At the end you get to state your favorite wine and get a little extra pour of it. Genius! It was so busy when my friends and I went (valentines event). We were warned but fine to be patient. The server took away a wine pour due to the busy atmosphere even though she didn't need to. She was an expert on the wines and I loved the red and rose. Honestly they were all amazing. Great wines and tons of passion behind the business. Go here. It's a delight.

    A fun little place to have a glass of wine! You're literally just a few feet away from where they make, blend, and bottle the wine. We did a Groupon here the other night for a wine tasting and had an amazing time. Madeline, the bartender, thoughtfully explained all of the wines and was very attentive. She couldn't have been nicer or more interesting, a world class bartender. We got lucky and Warner, the wine maker, was there working during our visit and he walked us through some of the process and answered all of our questions. What an unexpected and cool delight! I haven't even touched on the quality of the wines but would truly give every single wine we tasted an enthusiastic thumbs up. This little place knows wine and hospitality, I can't recommend it enough. We will definitely be back!

    Loved this place! I found it out via Groupon. I was looking for a local winery and I was pleasantly surprised to find VIN312. The bartender Roy was very welcoming. I enjoyed all our tastings and I joined the wine club, of course! I can't wait to go back.

    Such a pleasant wine tasting experience. It was a chill place with a nice host. All the wines were great but the cab was the best.

    Love this hidden gem! I've been so curious about trying a Chicago based wine and found it in ravens wood. The owner is amazing and the have tastings every weekend. When I entered I felt very welcome and I learned more about wine in the short time that I was there. My favorite wine so far is the super Tuscan blend. Took some to go. Will definitely be back!

    Great the lady. Was nice and knowledgeable. They had a Groupon option so check that out if it's still available when you read this. The wine is dry so if that's not your type of wine don't go. I'm not a dry wine drinker so it was interesting but it's worth a visit

    Such a great "speakeasy" type of spot! We had to ask the restaurant next door how to find it, but it is worth the search! This wine bar is cozy and intimate, with twinkle lights and candles at every table. There are couches and comfy velvet chairs all around, plus plenty of seating at the bar where you can chat with the owner, Warner, who will teach you all about the wine he makes. He was kind enough to give us a tour and show us how he produces his wine while we tasted all of the varietals he has to offer. My partner doesn't usually like whites, but absolutely loved the Viognier! We ended up taking home a bottle of a Super Tuscan blend and even signed up for the wine club! I'm glad to know of this hidden gem and am looking forward to bringing my girlfriends here soon so I can continue to support this local winemaker. Thanks for the great time, Vin312!

    We had a great time at VIN312. The staff is lovely and very knowledgeable. The wine is delightful! I've been hunting for a good local winery and I've found it! Joined the club and can't wait to see what they do next.

    Thank you Warner!

    If you want delicious wine personally served to you by the winemaker over lovely conversation, this is the place for you. Warner, you and your Dad are going to do great things! Thanks for being so nice to our group of friends. And the Rose-ay was delicious. I will certainly be back!

The ambiance is super nice, big windows and plants and lots of wood decor. It has a very local, casual vibe, and many of the people there seem to be regulars. I went for the wine tasting, which they offer every Thursday from 5-7pm. The tasting costs only $5, but it is free with any purchase. We bought the red wine cheese set for around $13, so we got our wine for free. They also kindly cut and arranged the cheese for us, and it was perfect for two people. We got to try four wines: Italo Cescon Pinot Grigio, Schild Estate GMS, Viva Valentina Sangiovese, and Chateau Kefraya Les Breteches. The GMS and sangiovese were definitely my favorite. It was a really great experience! Everyone was really friendly, the price was incredible, and the wine was high quality. I definitely hope to be back here.

This place is super cute and offers something for everyone. From self-service wine tastings (think wine on tap that remains fresh via magic?), to beers chilled in a cooler, to a few beers on tap, a few spirits...did I mention fancy soda's too?!?! Don't miss the bathroom...the "Sunday in the Park" hand-painted mural allegedly has 9 subtle changes that have been modified to reflect the area/owner. And speaking of the owner, Liz, she popped in and within minutes seemed to be making an effort to talk to her patrons - really nice person. I had a grilled goat cheese w/fig sandwich that was awesome! Staff was friendly too. I'll be coming back once I decide which event I want to attend: wine tasting Thursdays, Friday evening bands, Sunday Jazz brunch, or Movie nights.

Ordered the plate of Gnocchi with roasted butternut squash and Chicken Madeira, both the lunch size entrees. The waitress knew we were going to split the meals in half so she brought the meals out separately and in two separate plates. Doing so gave us time to savor each meal on its own and not have to try and divvy it up ourselves. I loved it. The food was phenomenal! We also had the bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer and that did not last long on the plate. Upon leaving we were trying to buy a couple bottles of wine. We tried getting the attention of the staff, yet were told they were busy. We waiting a good 10mins and still didn't get any help. I'm not sure why they were so short staffed for a busy afternoon, they could literally have 1 or 2 people at a register just for takeout wine orders. Or, suggestion, before we leave our table, we put the order in and they have it ready at the register for us to pay on our way out. Either way we walked out of there without wine. This place is big enough to accommodate alot of people and there is a parking garage just behind it, which makes it very convenient.

Our waitress seemed overwhelmed with the amount of tables she was handling and just overall grumpy. I can understand that doing separate checks for a large group might not be fun, but she just seemed irritable the whole time until we gave her a decent tip. She directed us to get our own water from the self-serve station. I did like that I could do the wine flight from the table vs. they only offer the 6 wine tasting from the bar. I was a little disappointed that no one explained which wine was which, and I was left guessing when I ordered all sweet wines and a couple that looked very similar. When I later wanted to order a glass, I apparently picked the wrong one, but none of them were horrible so that was OK. I also ordered the small charcuterie plate, which was a perfect snack plate. Some of our party ordered flatbreads and wraps, which also looked really good, so I would definitely try this place again. This place doesn't seem like they're that good at accommodating large groups as they only have small round tables they had pushed together, but we made it work. They seemed a bit understaffed for a Saturday afternoon. If you like sweet wines, my favorite was the Sweet Purple Lady, followed by Blackberry. I took a bottle home.
