Singh Sings Praises of Local Vino

Drink local at Big Bowl: the restaurant is now pouring Illinois wines, a cabernet franc from Prairie State Winery and a seyval blanc from August Hill Winery. “You don’t associate dry wines with our area,” says sommelier Alpana Singh. “But these grapes which aren’t typically planted here, fare well in cooler climates like Illinois.” Good news for those wondering how they were going to make it through the Green City Market’s Locavore Challenge without a wee drappie.
