A Taste of BYOB!


The Wine Discount Center presents a food and wine event like no other for a city that is the home of the best BYOB scene in the country! Since Wine Discount Center is the ultimate provider of fantastic wines for all types of fare, we're partnering with Jean Iversen, author of the BYOB Chicago guide book, to present "A Taste of BYOB!"

On Wednesday, September 15th, we will host eight BYOB restaurants at our Elston Avenue store. Each will serve a delicious dish representative of their cuisine and the Wine Discount Center will pair three different wines selected to perfectly compliment the food. It will be a casual walk-around event, and promises to be a great showcase of some of the best chefs in Chicago, as well as a whole lot of fun. So far we have 7 of the best BYO's in Chicago lined up: Mado, Sweets & Savories, Chilam Balam, Nori Sushi, Urban Belly/Belly Shack, Treat and Bon Soiree! One more BYO hot spot will be added, rounding out what will be one of the best food and wine events of the year!

To make things charitable, $10 of each ticket sold, as well as 10% of the event's proceeds, will benefit the Chicago Food Depository.

Date: Wednesday, September 15th
Time: Doors open at 8:00 p.m.
Cost: $45 per person (includes a copy of BYOB Chicago)
Location: Wine Discount Center,
1826 N. Elston Ave., Chicago
