Really great wine store! The staff is also incredibly helpful. I will often come here saying "I am looking for something that tastes like a pinot nior, or pinot gris, etc." and they can easily point me in the right direction of a unique natural wine similar in flavor profile. We are so lucky to have such a cool wine store in this neighborhood!

I stumbled upon this store accidentally, and oh how I hit a jackpot! I was recommended by a lovely staff member these two orange wines based on my favorite Austrian one (Meinklang), and I loved both of them. Each was very unique and outstanding! Recommend this gem to all natural wine lovers ?

My favorite wine store in Chicago. I always stop by whenever I'm in town and usually end up leaving with more than I should but it's a good thing.

First time walking in to find a bottle or 2 for a dinner. The two ladies in the shop were extremely helpful in guiding me towards a selection based on the menu. The wine was fantastic and paired wonderfully with each dish. FYI, it might look like it at first but you do not have to use the walk-up window (unless you want to). Go ahead and walk inside to browse their selection.

Offers a curated selection of artisanal wines created through traditional, natural winemaking techniques. Their wines highlight the elegant flavors and textures that come from quality, organic grapes and minimal intervention. Equally impressive is the well-versed staff, whose passion for the finer points of winemaking is matched only by their desire to share that knowledge with customers. Whether you have a novice's curiosity or an expert's discernment, they are happy to recommend and explain the nuances of their diverse array of vintages.

Unreasonable prices. I found some of their natural wines online, some for half the price at other sellers. If I had ordered those online I would’ve saved 35%, hence won’t buy at the store again. The wine is often a hit or miss, many poorly balanced wines, which are now popular for being “funky”.

I was on a trip to Chicago to check out the local wine shops & beverage scene as a whole for an article I'm writing. Diversey had been recommended to me twice as a "must visit" wine shop. The other shops I visited included Perman's Wine & Printer's Row. The team members at those stores greeted me warmly upon arrival, let me snap some videos/pictures of them & the store, and chatted wine with me for about 40 minutes at each store. I walked out of each interaction far more knowledgeable about the respective companies and pumped about the bottles they pitched me.Unfortunately, that was not the case when visiting Diversey.It's a great selection of natty wines from producers I rarely see and/or have never been introduced to. The store front is airy & dreamy, and I immediately wanted to capture the imagery of this bottle shop. The young man working the counter immediately asked what/why I was snapping pictures for. I informed him that I was admiring the large selection of natural wines and was recommended to check it out by other wine professionals in the city, and would be including it in a project I'm writing for.His 1st response: "All of our wines are natural wines." I let him know that I was aware of this and it was the reason I was here to pick up something small to take back to my hotel room. Again, because I was told this was the prime spot for producers of natural wines.His 2nd response: "I'm sorry, what was your question?" To which I promptly informed him that I hadn't asked a question, rather, I had answered his and if I did have an inquiry regarding a sku on the shelf that I would be sure to ask.At this point I'm not excited to be shopping the shelves and was rather shocked by the cold open I had just received. I quickly located the cooler for some smaller format bottles, made a selection and informed him I was ready to check out.He attempted to rectify the initial interaction during the check out process to ask where else I had visited, where I was visiting from, etc.----but the damage was done at this point. I had taken a 35min train ride to get to this shop and spent all of 3 minutes physically in it. I left with my 375ml bottle of Piquette feeling just as small as it was.Based on the concensus I gathered from locals and professionals who recommended Diversey to me, I'd like to believe that the entire interaction was an anomaly rather than the norm.I manage a wine shop in NC as a wine buyer & curate wine events around my city, so I'm no stranger to the hospitality industry. I would never, ever allow a guest experience like that to occur within the shop.I regaled you with all of this is to answer one question: Would I recommend Diversey to others? I don't know. As of now, my first visit was also my last visit.

Great natural wine selection. Enjoyed my chat with Anne Marie while there. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Chicago.
