Wine OR Wine & Food

Noted Chicago authoress and poetess Jacquee Thomas joins Chris Kern of "ForgottenGrapes.com" to pair poetry with wines made from lesser-known grapes.

Mr. Kern guides a tasting of five select wines. Miss Thomas recites a few poems from her book Growing Up (the pain, the joy, the discoveries), and poems from her upcoming book.  The $35-admission includes an autographed copy of the book at a special price. Additional books will be available at the event for $20/each.

WineStyles in Naperville has a charming "wine cellar" atmposhere. The alcoves seem like wine caves.

Space is limited. Make your reservation and look forward to a fun, inspiring evening.
