Join us for good old fashioned poron pours around the bar at Petite Edith. First come first served until we run out these gems! Alberto Nanclares and Silvia Prieto make transparent, Atlantic-influenced wines, mainly with Albariño from old vines around the village of Cambados. Employing organic farming practices and a restrained hand in the cellar, the pair have managed something very rare: the refinement of Albariño into angular, age-worthy wines that express the fascinating terruños of Cambados and Rías Baixas.

Thirteenth-generation farmers and winemakers Marie and Jean-Paul produce precise, pure wines that express their Alsatian terroir beautifully. Mineral, linear, textural, and always-evolving. It's a true treat to host Marie on her first-ever visit to Chicago. Who’s bringing a Redhot Ranch double burg for her to try? Zusslin wines available by the glass and flight. No tickets or reservations required.
