One of the things we love most about wine is that there's always room for a new perspective.

This Thursday, we're tasting through a lineup from Offscript, a winemaking incubator that gives emerging winemakers the opportunity to explore ideas, techniques, and styles that reflect their own creative vision.

The result is four wines that are thoughtful, distinctive, and a little unexpected: a bright, spritzy white blend, a juicy pét-nat Pinot Noir, a chillable carbonic Zinfandel, and a bold "Super Napan" red blend.

Join us from 5:00–7:00 PM to taste through the lineup and hear the stories behind the wines. Some of the most interesting bottles are the ones that don't follow a familiar path.

What makes a great wine snack? Balance.

Just like wine, the best pairings are all about contrast. Bright acidity loves a salty bite. Rich reds shine alongside savory flavors. Sparkling wines become even more refreshing with a little crunch.

That’s why we’re excited to welcome Wine Chips back to the menu.

Crafted by wine lovers for wine lovers, they’re the kind of simple, satisfying snack that makes lingering over one more glass feel like a very good idea. 🍷

Great wine has a way of transporting you.

Tonight's tasting takes you from the volcanic hillsides of Tokaji to the alpine vineyards of Alto Adige and Trentino, showcasing three wines that are bright, expressive, and unmistakably shaped by where they come from.

Expect zesty citrus and minerality from Hungary's signature Furmint, crisp orchard fruit and mountain freshness from Pinot Bianco, and a juicy, vibrant red that proves red wine can be just as refreshing as white.

Join us for our Thursday Tasting tonight from 5–7 PM at 1961 N Halstead Street!

Spring has officially arrived at J9, and Thursday’s tasting lineup feels like the kind of evening you accidentally turn into a two-hour stay.

From delicate sparkling rosé with notes of passion fruit and yuzu to a crisp, mineral-driven Petit Chablis that might just change your mind about Chardonnay forever, this week’s pours were made for slow sipping and good conversation. Rounded out with a vibrant Greek rosé bursting with fresh cherry and strawberry notes, every glass feels bright, layered, and perfectly suited for patio season.

Join us Thursday from 5 to 7 PM for a tasting that tastes like spring in a glass. This is one you’ll want to experience at J9.

Thursday plans, handled.

Join us tomorrow from 5 to 7 PM for a tasting that moves from bubbles to coastal reds, with a lineup that’s equal parts thoughtful and easy to drink.

We’ll start with VARA Silverhead Brut NV, a Méthode Champenoise sparkler with fine bubbles, pear and chamomile notes, and added depth from 18 months on the lees.

Next, Villa Creek Farmhouse White 2024 offers a layered white blend with white peach, pear, fennel, and a subtle creaminess, balanced by bright, clean acidity.

We’ll finish with Domaine Vico Corse Rouge Forca di Pero 2023, a biodynamic Corsican red with red fruit, violet, and mineral tones, shaped by whole-cluster fermentation and time in concrete.

Three distinct wines, one easy way to refine your palate.
