    Beer selection in the fridge
    Jason R.

    Great little wine bar in downtown Columbia, IL. I'm not a wine expert by any means. However, my good friend Brian Donovan was a sommelier for several years at a world famous French cuisine restaurant in Paris (Illinois; not Texas). He says that Chateau La Vin has the widest selection of affordable and hard to find wines in the Midwest. Having an unsophisticated palate, I usually get one of their house wines. They are only five bucks and I have yet to get one that wasn't excellent! For being a wine bar, they always have a good selection of bourbons on hand; Woodford Reserve, Old Rip Van Winkle, Elmer T Lee (single barrel) just to name a few. They only have one beer on tap and it's always Heineken. It's so fresh, if you closed your eyes, you'd swear you were skipping through fields of tulips in the Netherlands. Finally, while Chateau La Vin does not have a kitchen, they do allow you to bring food from other establishments. With Joe Boccardi's located right next door, it's a great setup!

    Great wine selection, very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Perfect atmosphere with live music sometimes! The outdoor section is awesome in the summer!! Try the Klinker Brick wines, all delicious, Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite! They have a good beer and spirits selection to for the non-wine fans, try the Stumpy's peach vodka!

    I met the owner, Bob, and he is so intelligent about the wine he serves and shares this knowledge in a passionate manner.

    If you're looking for a dining experience that's truly one of a kind, The Old House in Hog Hollow…read moreis it. This wasn't just lunch...it was an experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were welcomed into someone's home. The staff treated everyone like family, the food was absolutely delicious, and the live music from 1-3 PM was the perfect backdrop. The musicians were incredibly talented and created an atmosphere you simply can't find anywhere else in Chesterfield. What makes this place so special is that it combines incredible food, genuine hospitality, local history, and live entertainment in a beautiful historic setting. It's the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local businesses matters. Sadly, we learned they're being forced to operate under restrictions that don't seem to reflect what this business brings to the community. Because of complaints from nearby neighbors and city limitations, they aren't allowed to stay open past 4 PM and have faced restrictions on outdoor seating and live music. That's incredibly disappointing because experiences like this are exactly what make a community unique. Where else in Chesterfield can you enjoy a wonderful lunch while listening to outstanding live music at a historic landmark? The answer is...nowhere. I sincerely hope this amazing local gem gets the support it deserves. We'll definitely be back.

    We visited for lunch at 12:15 on a Wednesday. We were 15 minutes early for our reservation. We…read morewere politely offered our choice of tables throughout the house. We chose a table in the room which was ultimately the music room. We each ordered wine from a very nice server and then perused the lunch menu. We were served our beverages within 15 minutes. My partner ordered the Tuna Melt sandwich. I ordered the Chicken Salad sandwich. The restaurant gives the kitchen enough time to customers to finish the first glass before your food order arrives. That's okay, the restaurant caters to casual lunch customers.

    What an awesome event! I can't believe it's been going on for 5 years, and yesterday was my first…read moretime attending! The whole thing takes place on Art Hill. A TON of wineries participated in the event, which was neat. I'm not a huge wine person. I couldn't tell you the difference between pinot grigio and chardonnay. I don't know how to pair wines with particular foods. All I know is that I like sweet wines! Every vendor that I spoke with had representatives working who seemed to be very knowledgeable about wines, which was a plus. I tried lots of tasty wines! The entry fee isn't too bad; $25 a person, which gives you 10 tickets for 10 tastings of wine (additional tickets can be purchased for $5 per 10). This year they also had a Stella Artois beer seminar (free!) which was very interesting and informative. I have so much more respect now for (good) beer! If you're not into wine, they also had booths with food from various local restaurants, as well as live music. Super cool event! Can't wait to attend again next year!
