Staff Picks: Wines We Remember & Love From 2018

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

Our Old Town Wine Team is very proud of the selection of wines we carry. Truly, every wine is here for a reason. Still, through the year, each of us finds a few wines that strike us personally – we want to tell everyone, “You’ve gotta try this!” Tonight we’ll revisit some of these, offering some unique and some classically styled bottlings, as well as a sneak peek into our psyches.

Modern Food & Wine Pairing, Seminar Tasting

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

Our very own Madeline Triffon, America’s first female Master Sommelier, will share some of her vast knowledge and abundant charm to help us learn to answer the perennial question: what should I drink with this food?  Most restaurant and event menus are inspired by multiple ethnic and stylistic influences.

Blind Tasting Fun

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

It’s almost back to school time, so let’s dust off our practice, knowledge and intuition! Just for fun, we’ll put out an assortment of beautiful red and white wines, concealing their identities, and see who can deduce their type or grape variety. The wines will be very expressive examples and we’ll provide plenty of clues, with descriptions of what is typical of the wines being poured. It’ll be up to you to figure out which is which!...

Classics Of Spain

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

Magical Roussillon

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

One of these days, France will give Roussillon the recognition it deserves, and elevate it from its current status as an appendage to Languedoc. Once known only for sweet fortified wines made from Muscat and Grenache, this region’s dry reds and whites are very worthy of your attention. The arid, mountainous terrain, with its thin, poor, rocky soils, is planted to vine varieties similar to those of the Southern Rhone, and the wines are usually...

Majestic Nebbiolo: Elegance, Power And Longevity

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

“If Pinot Noir is the world's most tantalizing grape, Nebbiolo runs it a close second.” – Jancis Robinson Unlike Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo has not established itself anywhere in the world outside of Piemonte and Lombardy in Northwest Italy, its home since the 14th century. Here we will find the most famous regions, Barbaresco and Barolo, and lesser-known areas which also produce compelling examples, such as Gattinara and Valtellina. Some great...
