Tanya Hart's Taste of Vino

About Us

Tanya Hart's Taste of Vino is truly an extraordinary wine shop and wine bar. Breaking boundaries on how to think and drink wine, Taste of Vino enhances the ideal of buying fine wine. ''We are all about value'' says Hart, ''we believe everyone should get a great glass or bottle of wine and not pay restaurant prices for it''. TOV cultivated the slogan ''Retail Plus'' as a way to drink good wine affordably. ''You can pick any bottle off the shelf to open and drink in the shop paying the retail price, plus a $12 corkage'' says Hart. That's a great deal! Additionally Taste of Vino is set up to shop by style as they recognize customers don't always know the wine they want, but they know the style they like it in. To make choosing wine simple, the store is arranged by ''Big, bold & Rich - ''Smooth, Luscious, Juicy'' - ''Light, fresh & Fruity'' - ''Bubbles'' - ''Sticky & Sweet''. ''I have customers who come up and tell me they are ''big, bold and rich''! Says Hart. ''They identify themselves with a certain style''.

Already an established fine wine shop, the wine bar was added in January 2006 and is the first 'true' wine bar in Hinsdale, now also leading a trend not just in the suburbs but all over the Chicagoland area. Wine bars are different from restaurants in the sense the focus is on the wine, not the food. While Taste of Vino has gourmet cheeses and other delicacies to nibble, the shop focuses its attention on an ambitious selection of wines by the glass and half-glass as well as an interesting collection of international beers.
