Weekend Recap & Winter Wine Soiree Event

Happy Monday Everyone!

I feel very well-rested after a very lazy Sunday, but I'm so thankful for it today with the week ahead. I had a wonderful weekend catching up with friends and I hope you did as well.

My friend hosted a lovely wine and cheese party to welcome us to her new Apartment in Streeterville. We then brought out the Whiskey after the wine. Who could resist in this gorgeous decanter.

The hostess also had the cutest creatures to keep our drinks separate. I loved my pink bunny alien.

Whiskey Time!

After the fabulous housewarming, we ventured out to Tavernita to grab a drink with some friends. This place was pretty packed at Midnight when we arrived. I loved the bar scene where you can get little tastes of all of the appetizers and the drinks are delicious. I tried the Booty Collins and it was so refreshing! It's made with Green tea-infused Vodka and is a must try! We then ventured into the club-like scene in this enclosed curtain and I only lasted about 5 minutes, not my scene but looked like fun if it is!

We then attempted to try Bub City, the one I have mentioned before on Clark Street in between Hubbard and Illinois. The line was about 20 people deep and we only lasted about 5 minutes before we caved and went to Boss bar. If you haven't been to Boss bar, please go and experience it. One of my favorites in the city, a great dive bar but great service all the time.


I'm especially excited this morning to tell you about an upcoming event at Boarding House. I have to send a BIG Thank You to my friend Connor who sent me the link this morning. It just about made my week! I've been looking to try out Boarding House for quite sometime but this event just might be the way to do it!

On Tuesday, January 29th Boarding House is hosting a Winter Wine Soiree from 6 - 8pm. They've asked us to beat the winter blues and join Master Sommelier Alpana Singh for a tasting of red wines from around the world paired with passed appetizers. It sounds like a great way to meet some fellow wine lovers and enjoy the cozy wine driven ambiance of The Boarding House.

I cannot wait and just purchased a ticket for the event. It's $38 for the night, which is sure to be a success! Here is the link to join us: The Boarding House Winter Wine Soiree
