The W is for Wine in Chicago

Monday November 3, 2008

Oenophiles, if you're staying at the W Chicago - Lakeshore this week, you're in for a treat. On Nov. 5, wine expert and Bottlenotes founder and CEO Alyssa Rapp will be celebrating the release of her new book, Bottlenotes Guide to Wine: Around the World in 80 Sips, with a party and wine tasting at the hotel's Wave restaurant.

Around the World in 80 Sips is an insider's guide to boutique wineries from around the world, and the wine tasting event will allow you to sample some of the wines from France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Argentina featured in the book. Rapp will be on hand for a Q&A and to sign books in between sips. The event runs from 6 to 8pm, and costs $10 or $20 including the book. Afterward, stick around for dinner. Wave is a Mediterranean small plates crowd-pleaser headed by one of Chicago's rising stars, Chef Kristine Subido.
