A little once a month wine tasting, a few bottles of wine and delicious salmon at Coopers Hawk will…read morenow become a selfcare ritual. Let me tell you about my 2nd time in this Cooper's Hawk... It was so impressive that I got a membership. I wanted to check it out for lunch with a friend. We went on the Thursday before Easter and to my surprise it was pretty busy! We sat at the bar. My friend has a membership already so we were able to drink one of her bottles with our lunch. Ok, we ended up drinking two of her bottles. LOL. They chilled her bottle in a chiller table side and put a little garnish on our glass for the sparkling wine we chose. The blackened salmon was terrific! It was soooo delicious. I had the lobster, crab bisque it was ok. I enjoyed our wine and the vibe of the restaurant. We sat at the bar and our bartender's name was Megan! She was terrific. I was even able to taste one of the wines I had my eye on. I was told I can try two wines every visit. Stop it. A tasting per month, a tasting at the table? I can't wait to come back.

Extremely disappointed. We drove across the city to try the cauliflower pizza…read more 1. Pairing parking is very limited in the area but we located parking two block over and walked back. 2. We enter the venue. No one greets us and it is fairly empty. We ask a woman who walks through the main space, "Are you all open?" She says "yes", but never breaks stride. Another woman walks into the main space, we ask "Do we seat ourselves?" She replies, "Yes, you can sit wherever you'd like, inside or outside", before walking off. 3. We seat ourselves and wait about 10min for the server to come to our table to water. She provides an overview of the meadery and prepares to leave. We stop her and ask to place an order for the cauliflower pizza in the photo . She replied, "Oh, we don't serve that anymore. We use regular frozen pizza dough now." Wow, just wow. Why circulate false advertisement on the website? We left without ordering anything.

In 2021, I started making wine at home. Wild Blossom Meadery & Winery was where I could buy…read moresupplies that I needed. I had taken a winemaking class here, so I also could buy some of their kits if I didn't want to start from scratch with my own juice. Recent, I went to a Sunday brunch session that was really nice. The food was outstanding. And with the weather being nice, outdoor seating was an option that made the afternoon that more enjoyable. I had only been familiar with the wine, mead, and brewing supplies aspect of Wild Blossom. I like their "restaurant" setting. I may get back to enjoy some weekend events.

The bar can get very crowded and you can get a bottle to sit somewhere but it's a little hit or miss (depending on how busy) with if someone will serve you or if you have to go back up. The last time we were there service was really spotty and they were entertaining a very large crowd by the bar so that was the priority. Also, like all businessss in Long Grove, they can dictate their own schedule depending on how busy it is. We ended up coming in on a Friday night and were told they were closing even though posted hours said they should be open another hour.

What a gem of a wine destination in Joilet! The building itself is historic, beautiful and…read morecastle-like. The staff encourage you to explore the house before settling in to do a tasting. Each room had its own character. I loved hearing about the rich history of the building as well as how it became the tasting room it is today. There were four of us who visited. A tasting is $20 for (8) sample pours. I was surprised at how good each of the wines were! Our group's favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc, 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bishop's Blend. Jordan guided us through the tasting telling us about each wine and answering any questions we had. He did a great job at keeping our glasses full while also giving us space to enjoy. Overall, this is a great wine tasting option in the area!

The class was affordable and was a great gift option too. We were in a small group maybe 10 people or so and we got to taste five different types of sparkling wine, including champagne and cava, while learning more about the along the way! The storefront itself is also very nice with a great selection of selected wines by the owner and none of the super big names you'd find at a box store. There is also a membership program you can be part of that has some cool travel opportunities too! Looking forward to other events and classes that they offer in the future!

Just an overall nice atmosphere to sit back and enjoy some wine to relax with some friends and/or family. We will definitely be back. Give this place a try, You won't be disappointed.

The wonderful guys working the exchange setup a table for us, which is so sweet. Great service, will return just because of that! But alas I needed food - check! and a nice glass of champagne - check! Champagne is only by the bottle, but they have a great variety. The Prosecco by glass was good, but I wanted a little something more. The tequila and whiskey/bourbon selection is vast for a wine bar, I was wildly impressed considering I'm not actually a wine drinker. The flatbreads are huge and the charcuterie board was fantastic! Can't wait to come back
