Joe's Imports

When your average wine night calls for a serious upgrade, grab a seat at Joe's Imports, a sleek and sexy wine bar situated in the heart of the West Loop. Before you start pondering the lengthy vino list, ask your server for an order of the fried parmesan puffs and the whipped ricotta. Once you've got some sustenance in front of you, peruse the drinkable options—which range from champagne and chenin blanc to brunello and syrah. Keep an eye out for the bar's namesake Joe Fiely (he's the operating partner and wine director for Francesca’s Restaurant Group), who hand-selected each bottle from his globetrotting travels.
