Post #1 - February 14th, 2017, 9:46 pmI have some exciting news I'd love to pass along. Red and White Wines has purchased the former deli space next door from its shop and is in the process of turning it into a wine bar. Plans are to be open in early March (knock on wood). I will be running the kitchen and I am very excited to work with the wonderful team at R&W; hopefully putting out some good food to go along with an amazing wine list. I will post updates as they progress. I hope you all can stop by at some point!

Post #3 - February 16th, 2017, 9:14 pmI f'n love Red and White, and have been anticipating this opening for a while. It's by far my favorite place for pairings. Whether it be takeout, byo or home cooking, just go in tell them what you're eating, how much you want to spend, and you'll get 2-5 enthusiastic recommendations. They've nailed everything from multi-course dinners at Schwa and Bon Soirée (sheds tear) to makeshift pasta with canned tuna and even an oyster shucking party. My father in law is a huge wino (two cellars), and Red and White is his number one. It's a mandatory stop every time he visits. Also, they play jazz. More places should play jazz.

Post #4 - February 16th, 2017, 10:41 pmI got a good glimpse of the space today when I was in picking up some wine. It looks very inviting and comfortable, a natural extension of the vibe in the shop. I look forward to checking it out when it opens. I also met gocubs88, who was in the space working. Nice to meet you!
The shop is great but I think it's probably better for it to have its own thread in either Shopping & Cooking or Something To Drink. I'll try to start one soon, unless someone else gets to it first.

Post #5 - January 5th, 2018, 10:07 amAn email I received the other day informed me that the wine bar is now open for business.in an email, Red & White Wines wrote:
2018 at R&W
Happy new year!
We are pleased to announce that our bar is (at last!)
open for business.
The January hours in the bar will be:
Thursday, Friday & Saturday
4pm - midnight
The bar will offer a food menu as well as wines by the glass and bottle. We will also offer beer and some top-notch spirits. We will not be taking reservations.
We are grateful for all of your support as we've gone through this process. We cannot wait to welcome you at the bar!
This exciting new offering requires our dedicated attention, and we will therefore be putting Thursday night tastings on hold for the near future. We welcome you to stop in the bar for a glass - our list will rotate and offer some really special wines.
Saturday tastings are getting an upgrade. They will be moving up from 1- 4pm, to border the opening hours of the bar. In response to the interest in more educational opportunities, and in an effort to continue to bring in new, exceptional wines, we've decided to go deeper with our tasting program. This requires that we ask $10/person. This $10 may be put towards any purchase that day. If you have any questions about tastings, please let us know. We will be sending out an email about this Saturday's Italian job with Mac. We are really excited about the tasting line-up for the rest of winter and spring and hope you will join us.
We appreciate your understanding as we grow. So often we remark at how wonderful our customers are. We are truly lucky to have the support of so many passionate, thoughtful and considerate clients.
Our heartfelt thanks,
Red & White

Post #6 - January 17th, 2018, 4:33 pmMore on the recently opened wine bar via Joseph Hernandez at the Trib's website . . .It’s taken some time, but Red & White Wine Bar is finally open.
Quietly opened to the public on Jan. 4, the spacious, European-style wine bar adjoins the 10-year-old retail space of the same name. Don’t expect to see the same bottles, though.
“Nathan has cellared and stocked cases of precious, allocated and interesting wines since opening in 2008,” says Cub Dimling, who co-owns the bar with Nathan Adams. “These are wines that you’ll only find if you sit at the bar to drink.”
Opening the bar was a natural evolution to the work being done in the retail space, Adams said. “I’ve always had it in my mind to open this space, to serve wines that we love, that I’ve been squirreling away.” Focused on natural, biodynamic and small-production wines — “real wines of nature,” said Dimling — Red & White differentiates itself from box stores with wines that tell stories. “Our motivation has always been to showcase producers, the families who grow the grapes and make the wines. They’re who we serve.”
Long-awaited Red & White Wine Bar now open in Bucktown

Post #7 - June 24th, 2018, 7:32 pmFrequent customers of this neighborhood jewel wineshop, we were delighted to finally get the chance to try the long-awaited bistro the owners opened in the old Sterling Goss space next to the shop.
The dinner was exquisite!
We had the refreshing cold cucumber soup with buttermilk and a surprising strawberry center, the perfect sardines a la plancha, the truly original housemade mozzarella that was stuffed with fresh peas and ricotta (a burrata effect really), ethereal nettle gnocchi, and the little gem salad (the most delicious, delicate, well balanced nicoise). Each and every dish was both conceived and executed with such care and panache. Wine pairings were of course unusual and judicious.
We can't wait to go back. Industry people and night owls might also like to note that the bistro keeps quite late hours.
