Wine Wednesday: My Chicago Wine Bar Faves

It’s #WineWednesday ladies and you know what that means: happy hour laughs, truffle fries, and a little mid-week de-stressing. Whether it’s to vent about your never-ending to do list at work or your kid told you he hated you for the first time, sometimes wine just has to be the answer. But there’s no fun in drinking wine alone (well, not always). Grab your friends and head to one of these coveted wine bars for a little girl time!
