Provenance Food and Wine: User Reviews

Neighborhood Gem!!!

Overall rating:

I mostly come in here for the wine. Small but select selection, especially the table full of bottles under $12. You really can't go wrong but the staff are very knowledgeable. They also carry Ephemere beer from Quebec - perfect for summer. (If you need a taste, wander up Lincoln to the Book Cellar who sell it by the glass.) Only downside? As they're boutique wines, the supply can be limited. If you really love something, stock up.

Best thing here is the customer service - not only knowledgeable but friendly. Tracy - the owner - really tries to cater to her customers. There was one particular wine I really loved but I got the last bottle in the store. Two months later, she has one bottle, saved in the back for me. She'd found it in the Logan Square store and brought up. That kind of service breeds customer loyalty.
