At the top of our list of favorite things: lazy weekends, outdoor festivals and all things wine.
That's why we're especially excited about the annual Wine Crush, happening Sept. 12-13 in Old Town.
For $30 ($45 for premium tastings), guests can sample up to 50 wines, plus a number of artisan cheeses.
We're also looking forward to chef demos by Christian Phernotten (Old Town Brasserie), Othon Angel (Adobo Grill) and Dino Lubbat (Dinotto Ristorante).
A hilarious highlight of Wine Crush is the Grape Stomping Competition, as teams of two dance around in mounds of the divine grape to win a bottle of vino from one of the participating wineries.
And, of course, being a street festival, live music is always a big attraction. This year's entertainment includes Gin Blossoms, 16 Candles and the soul-infused local band Jambon.
A portion of the proceeds benefit the Old Town Merchants & Residents Association and Chicago 2016.
