The Loop

The Loop family of wines reflect the best of what makes Chicago unique – a bold approach coupled with traditional elegance. These single varietals were inspired by the city after which they are named, and each of them appeal to those who strive and those who succeed.

“Chicago is a town, a city that doesn’t ever have to measure itself against any other city. Other places have to measure themselves against it. It’s big, it’s outgoing, it’s tough, it’s opinionated, and everybody’s got a story.”
—Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef and author
