● Bonsoiree (Logan Sqr/Humboldt Prk) - Save a few bottles of your best for the 4-, 7-, or 13-course tasting menu, but go with something light and versatile, like a Rosé that can match the eclectic assortment of dishes crossing your palate.
● HB Home Bistro (Boystown) - This tiny favorite expands with every bottle opened to pair up with their Amsterdam-style mussels and sautéed tilapia -- you might even consider bringing a Belgian brew, like Duvel's blonde ale.
● Mado Market & Eatery (Bucktown/Wicker Park) - The menu is always changing, but the flavors remain Mediterranean. Bring along a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and check out the specials.
