The South Rises Again—On Cocktail Menus

I swear I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that a number of wines from the South can easily hold a candle to the more celebrated vino found in France, Italy or Spain.

At Table Fifty-Two, they're building a South-focused wine program that's certain not to be found outside of the South. Check out what I found in my monthly spirits column on DiningChicago.com, where I also cover the Southern-oriented cocktail programs at Big Jones, Hearty and The Southern.

Cheers!
