On-the-Go — Windy City Wine Guy | Michael Bottigliero

Great stop in #HarborCountry @promenyvino & @ican_cafe for #breakfast, #oliveoil, and #wine from lesser known regions. I got my #Balkan on!

Stopped at @bighartbrewingco on the way back down The Hand 🤚 for a #lamb #burger and a #growler fill up. Nice spot with a darn good #Rye #Saison.

On vacation in the #UP and it’s @franciacorta time! Drinking @riccicurbastro #Gualberto #DossagioZero light and refreshing (65% #PinotNoir, 35% #Chardonnay) on a #summer day.

On a trek to get awesome Upper Peninsula smoked fish in St. Ignace. Went to #Manleys #FishMarket for smoked whitefish (despite the fact they bravely sport @greenbay_packers_nfl colors!), beef jerky & whitefish dip then to #Massey #fish Co. for smoked salmon & salmon dip. Can’t wait to bring these babies home!

Grabbing some pasties (correctly pronounced past as in past tense) from a #StIgnace fav #Lehto ‘s #Pasties and can’t wait to reheat. 2 kinds- #Beef & rutabaga and #chicken #potpie style.

So beautiful. My first trip to the U.P. and first time seeing Lake Huron.

We are set and ready to roll out the @franciacorta #sparklingwine here @nonninachicago!

The morning after, @davidsdeli has your back. Egg, bacon, spinach, peppers, avocado on whole grain with green tea, @coophotsauce and the sports page. 🍳 🥓 🌶 🥑 🍞 🍵

‪The cards are in and I’m ready to help @Franciacorta take over Chicagoland (and Illinois) 🍾 🥂 ‬

Perfect Midwest summer combo- grilled Michigan peaches and vanilla ice cream. 🍑 + 🍨 = 😊 Happy 4th of July to all, Happy BDay America! 🇺🇸

Diving into one of our fav local spots @greenbushbrew for lunch. American Pale with Wildflower Honey, Kale salad with garbanzos/pickled onion/goat cheese/lardon, and BBQ Pizza with pulled pork/corn/pickled jalapeño/onion. Just a great spot in Sawyer where you can grab a growler & stuff at the Annex, produce at Home/Garden Center, ice cream, coffee. 🍺 🥗 🍕 🍦 ☕️

I’m a big hot sauce guy and tried this Made in the USA #Sriracha out @wholefoods and it’s spicy good. Try it out if you get the chance! 🌶
