The Chicago Wine Council:
The Chicago Wine Council, meets monthly, assisting the Clubs listed to the left with best practices and venue selections.
It was 10 years ago when the Council was formed to bring the Wine Curious and Wine Educated together.
The Council guides the various Clubs on the proper methods of wine tastings events and advises on what wines are to be presented to all Members and guests. The Council plays a significant role in keeping the events positive and rewarding to all involved.
All Tasting Clubs maintain a FREE Membership and we only ask Members and Friends to attend our Monthly Events to support us in our continued efforts to keep you informed about wines available to you.
Under our Council management, Chicago residents, who are "Wine Educated" and "Wine Curious" have an opportunity to taste great unique wines besides some of our favorites, in a non-snob fashion with education provided at every event.
Simply, we do not sell wine but we do taste wines for the benefit of all!
Typical cost for tasting events, which supports our Council is $40 plus.
Tasting events last 3 hours includes 25 plus wines, light appetizers and our approved Chicago Wine Council Wine Diary.
We always require of our Clubs to sell an advance ticket on-line (credit cards) and we will attempt to sell tickets at the Door (cash only) the night of the event but the price is $10 higher and entry is not guaranteed. We will not "over-sell" our events out of respect for the attendee's who have bought in advance.
Please feel free to sign-up now at any of the Clubs to the left and you will be kept informed by our email news letter "CWS" - Chicago Wine Scene, so you will know when the next tasting occurs besides wine news and "specials" created by our Clubs.
Cheers!
