Meet the Masut da Rive family from Friuli, Italy, and taste their wines. A nice aperitif to dinner at Towbar! 
"Masut da Rive is a winemaking family from Friuli, Italy based in the Isonzo region. Through three generations, they have learned to produce wine in the traditional Italian style while using both international and local grape varietals. As a small, family-run farm, they take every precaution to ensure each bottle is of the highest quality. From discarding excess grapes from the vine during the growing season to hand picking only the best grapes during harvest, Masut da Rive truly represents the union of traditional style with artisanal ability."

"Taste Food and Wine has one of the most beautiful, romantic atmosphere's I've ever encountered. I can take myself out of Rogers Park and imagine myself in another country, tasting a wine at a vineyard. It has such a unique charm, I can't help but be enamored with the place. The people are very helpful, answering calls and questions non-stop, and assisting you the moment you walk in their door". - Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce on Taste
Complimentary wine tasting are hosted every Monday and Friday of the month at Taste Food & Wine from 5pm - 8pm. Purchase of a bottle of wine is highly recommended to support this great local business.
