Fleming’s unveils its list of 100 wines by the glass in a series of September wine tastings.
Drink up, wine lovers! You can sip, slurp and sample your way through September with a wide variety of wines being poured at Chicago-area steakhouses.
From 5:30 to 7 p.m. every Thursday in September, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse in River North and Lincolnshire will showcase its latest selection of 100 wines served by the glass. At these tastings, $25 lets you sample and compare 20 of the wines each night, along with light hors d’oeuvres. If you stay for dinner, however, they’ll credit that $25 toward your check. Reservations, with advance payment, are required.
The restaurants also host several other wine-related events and promotions during September, including Caymus Vineyards wine dinners Sept. 21 and 22, $125, and 25 percent off bottle purchases on Tuesdays.
