Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, with creative appetizers and a great selection of wine. Prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was just perfect m, especially sitting outside on a warm evening. The service was truly outstanding! after I accidentally left my card at the table, one of the staff members literally ran after me down the street to return it. So kind and attentive! Highly recommended.

A great place to gather with friends or chill with your date while you sip and sample incredible wines.
Try the gourmet made-from-scratch pizzas, appetizers, and sweets.
I had the BBQ chicken pizza and it was scrumptious. Hubby enjoyed the bechamel pickles pizza. Truly unique.
Comfortable chic ambiance, with quirky mix and match china dishes, groovy background music, and the sounds of multilingual casual conversation.
Wonderful service with our knowledgeable hostess, Heidi.

Heidi is happy to help you find a wine you love, and from a part of the world you may not know a lot about! The food is delicious and made in house, and the experience there is a perfect blend of cozy and classy. Des plaines is lucky to have this place.

I always enjoy myself at this establishment. I don’t even drink wine any more, but the service, ambiance, food, and alternative beverages are really great. I’m sure the wines are great too. Super spot to relax, eat, drink and chat. Highly recommend. The folks that run it are super nice too!

Unique place for wine and snacks. They have wines you can try from a specific place. They have whites and reds and you can read the notes in the menu.
We had the charcuterie board and everything was delicious. I’m not a big olive person but they were delish. We finished the night with trying some of the chocolate and they did not disappoint!

We accidentally stumbled into this gem after being turned away from the previous restaurant we initially planned on visiting (due to overcrowding). And boy, am I glad we did. We happened to come on a night where there was a classical violin recital being performed by a 9 year old wunderkind and her teacher – it was beautiful!!!! The atmosphere was inviting and extremely comfortable. The wine selection was vast, delish and very interesting. The food was fresh, hot and quite good. And the owner (Heidi), personally took the time to check in on us and even shared the story behind the establishment. I informed her that Uncork, Unwind had won me over and that, rest assured, I will be returning quite often. Thank you, Heidi and staff, for an absolute wonderful evening!!!!

This place is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is inviting and functional. There are Hightop chair seatings for groups of 2 and 4. Also several couch and chair groups. Love the wine dispensers that allow you to sample the white and red wines of the month. There is also the usual wines they have on the menu.
They have delightful food options. My favorite is the warm garlic bread and Fromage blanc! The Fig and prosciutto is lovely.
This place is a great go to spot to spend fun and relaxing times with friends. The owner and staff are friendly and efficient.
Enjoyed the night so much I came back with a friend last night. We were treated to relaxing live guitarist! It made the night even more enjoyable! Was able to enjoy the new wines of the month! They were very delicious . Can’t wait to come back!

Well!!!! We took a trip to little Italy, parts of Rome, even the Galapagos islands all in one! The eatery was modern and contemporary all in the same breathe. What a treat to behold as we visited late with a friend and boy was it a blast to just gaze at the quaint decor. Small plate stylings with a menu to rock your pallet! From themes to just perfectly parced wine bottle’s of any liking …what an organized walk thru wine country darks to lights reds to even reddest this owner has it together when acquiring and theme tastings from local to foreign taste. I tasted two distinct bottle’s off her small dispensary on site to to travel all the way to Tuscany! (yea right I wish! ) BUT close enough that if you close your eyes and think vacation, and river walks in France this place can take you there! The food was stellar made by the in house cook not a single bite disappointed the soul. Spicy notes added to the crispy chimichurry pizza (a small plate pizza )paired with a perfect leggy tasting but sweet noted wine as suggested and was welcomed. Though pairings are not to worry over here as they have robust to crisp and everything in between. From entry to exit I promise you will be wowed by service,care, and expertise; with eagerness to please keep on keeping on while we all unwind and Uncork one bottle at time Cheers and Bon Appetite’
