Binny’s in the South Loop will be hosting Binny’s Champagne Tasting on Thursday, December 27, 2007 from 5-8pm. Binny’s Champagne Tasting will feature 70 Champagnes and Sparking Wines from around the world and will highlight several of the most famous and popular brands. There is a $30 entry fee per person and reservation are required. To register for Binny’s Champagne Tasting, send an email to juan@binnys.com or call 312-768-4400. Binny’s South Loop is located at 1132 S. Jefferson Street (Just off Roosevelt, across from Manny’s Deli).

Binny’s is a drinker’s paradise. Row upon row of wine, beer and liquor abound, logically separated and clearly identified by overhead signs, making it a snap to pop in and head directly to the Argentinean Malbec. An overwhelming number of bottles can pose a difficult decision, though the instantly-ready-to-help staff, wide range of prices (you can easily spend $7 or $70) and occasional helpful review tacked up nearby eases the confusion.
