He can even discuss his literal route of driving 50,000 miles a year to find hidden vineyards! Andrew is the source for many Vin Chicago favorites like "Fiction", "Wonderwall" and "Barter & Trade". On this night we’ll explore some exciting new offerings from his portfolio, with 6 wines featured. Neoteca will support this exciting lineup with a paired five-course menu.
