This Wine Wednesday, we’re bringing you the same great deal with a new wine to spice up your weekday!
Our latest addition, Vini La Quercia’s Santapupa radiates a straw-yellow hue with crystal clear brightness. Its aromatic profile unveils notes of delicate sweet almond, ripe peach, fragrant jasmine, subtle cheese rind, crisp apples, and hints of clove. Upon the palate, preserved lemons and green apples intertwine, accompanied by a velvety creaminess, complemented by nuances of melon, ripe peach, and luscious yellow plum. Salinity and acidity cut through the palate leading to a long crisp and clean finish.
Can’t make it to Wrigley Field for the Chicago White Sox @ Chicago Cubs game? You can catch the Crosstown Classic series at The Paw on June 4th & 5th. If you’re attending in person, the game starts at 7:05pm, so there’s plenty of time to grab a bite or a drink with us before heading out. Either way, we’re here to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the action!

Our Story
Nestled in a quiet corner of Lincoln Park, The Monkey’s Paw is an intimate 72-seat neighborhood spot serving artisanal plates and pouring more than 150 whiskeys, craft beers and boutique wines.
Our rotating list of 12 draught beers features small batch offerings from craft brewers around the world. Our regional, seasonal, farm-to-table fare means the menu is never frozen and most certainly always fresh.
Join us for a weekend brunch or a spirited evening; the warm ambiance is always welcoming.
Yes, we get asked about the name a lot. The name comes from the famous short story by W.W. Jacobs, in which a monkey’s paw grants three wishes, with unintended consequences. In a nod to the 11 years it took to bring The Monkey’s Paw to fruition, we can certainly identify with the irony of the famous tale. But as another fable tells it, good things come to those that wait.
We look forward to serving you soon.
