Wine in Palatine

Anyone here recommend a place for wine or spirits in Palatine or near there? Yes, I could go to Binny's or what not but I like to frequest small business owners and get a more personalized and knowledgeable experience.

If you see a guy driving a yellow MINI Cooper going in, that's my hubby. He's also going to pick up some wine there this weekend. Say hi to him

I invite you to come and check out my shop in Arlington Heights, Grand Cru Wine Merchants. Wine is more the focus here, only a couple of spirits.

Craig's shop is quite nice, well worth checking out!

I definately will. My wife and I are doing some shopping this Saturday. We are starting to run low. Down to about two cases of red and maybe 1 of white. Plus we have no variety left. just cab sauv and pinot grigio

Dave,
I look forward to you stopping in.
Thanks,
Craig

You could try Tuscan Market in downtown Arlington Heights on Miner. Mitch is the owner/expert.

Mitch sold his business a couple of months ago, as far as I know he is no longer there.

Thanks for the update-I have not been there for a couple of months I guess. The shop is still there though. Another place on Dunton in Arlington Heights is Urban Harvest-Mary Ellen is the owner. It's a nice little gourmet food/wine shop.

Wine vs. water



To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... and those who don't.



As Ben Franklin said:

"In wine there is wisdom,

in beer there is freedom,

in water there is bacteria."

In a number of carefully controlled trials,

scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day,

at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than

1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer

(or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to

go through a purification process of boiling,

filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:

Water = Poop,

Wine = Health.

Therefore,

it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,

than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I'm doing it as a public service.
