Prosecco, Chicago

Chicago’s Prosecco Ristorante offers guests upscale Italian dining in the heart of the River North Gallery district.

With over 17 different sparkling wines to choose from, guests can enjoy the perfect pairing to any of the exceptional dishes on the menu with a glass or bottle of delicious bubbly.

Sparkling wine, made in Illinois

The Illinois Sparkling Co., located in North Utica is the ultimate destination to appreciate award-winning sparkling wines. The relatively inhospitable soil of the Illinois Valley combined with arduous craftsmanship has proven key in producing local white grapes to make a truly superb bottle of bubbly. Founders Mark Wenzel and his wife, Teri, produce a number of delicious sparkling wines including their popular Extra Brut, a crisp, gold, Silver Medal-Winning sparkler that offers notes of pear and lavender. For wine lovers out there – visit their tasting room on Mill Street or sample the finest sparkling wines now gracing the menus of top restaurants and bars across the state.
