Free Wine Trumps Free Supermarket Samples
We’re here to offer you consolation for your lousy loot and throw out a tip on where to score what is, in our estimation, the best thing one can get for free: wine. Every Friday night, A. Vision — a clever shop in Ukrainian Village offering wine and flowers — hosts a free wine tasting from 5 – 7 p.m. This week they’re pouring imports from Candid Wines such as Girasole Pinot Noir, a clean and bright organic wine. Others include Martin Schatzel Pinot Blanc and Huff Kerner. Buy a bottle of Olson Ogden Sonoma County Syrah and A. Vision will kick twenty percent of the proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Illinois.
It’s free, it’s Friday, it’s finally warm, do you need another reason to drink? If you do, walk across the street to Piccolo for peanut butter or pistachio gelato. The combo might give you indigestion, but whatever, it’s the weekend.
