Perhaps no business that has opened in Andersonville in the past 5 years has been as welcome to those of us who enjoy a good drink (or two) as In Fine Spirits. While mostly known for featuring carefully selected wines at great prices (two tables – one red and one white – feature all bottles for $12 or less), In Fine Spirits also carries a wide selection of the best microbrews in the Midwest (Two Brothers, Three Floyd’s, Metropolitan) and artisan spirits from small producers, such as Andersonville’s own Koval Distillery. So not only is In Fine Spirits a great place to stock up for a holiday party, it is also a treasure trove of gift ideas for those people on our list who appreciate something which can be poured.
Our featured item from the Andersonville Holiday Gift Guide is sure to add a little extra holiday cheer. This very special bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon ($29.50) was bottled exclusively for In Fine Spirits from a single barrel after a strenuous morning of tasting (don’t say they aren’t dedicated!). So for dad, an uncle, grandma, or anyone who appreciates a nice brown liquor, look no further.
Also featured from In Fine Spirts is the BYOB Gift Basket and assorted Metropolitan Beer from Andersonville’s Metropolitan Brewery.
In Fine Spirits, 5418 N. Clark, 773-506-9463. Tuesday-Friday, 12:00 noon – 9:00 pm, Saturday 11:00 am – 9:00 pm, Sunday & Monday 12:00 noon – 7:00 pm. Be sure to check out the In Fine Spirits Lounge next door!

Jason's favorite sight, the His Stuff sidewalk sale.

We hope everyone had a great time at Midsommarfest and got to indulge in whatever you enjoy, whether it be cold beer, dancing to great music, buying some new jewelry, devouring a bucket o’ fries with all the fixings or just checking out the scenery. Between Midsommarfest ending and the
Farmer’s Market starting this week (!), we have been a little hectic around the office. But not so busy that we couldn’t spend our $20 (and then some!). Here is the staff report for week 4 of the 20/20 challenge (which was technically last week, so look for another 20/20 post this week too!).

Read our lists from Week Two after the jump. Leave a comment to let us know what you did with your 20 bucks this week!
