The Windy City Wineaux was previously known as the What’s Pouring Chicago Meetup Group and changed organizers as of Jan 25, 2012. This group has a love of wine, socializing and new experiences. Please join us for tastings, public events, BYOB dinners and any other reason we can think of get together. Don't forget to pay the $2 annual membership dues - we will be using this money for another table and items for this summer's BYOW events at Millennium Park!

Before show time - we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. People are …
