Juice 1340 is the spot, if you’re looking for the best in wines, beers, and spirits! Derrick and team are the best and are so knowledgeable about their products. If you haven’t already stopped by, make a point to do it, you won’t regret it!

Hosted a bridal shower there and the atmosphere was awesome. Cody and Derrick did an awesome job. They were very flexible in allowing us to move furniture and decorate. My guests were amazed at the atmosphere and cool vibes. This is a wonderful place to host your events. I recommend them for your next event.

Pour one out for this place. Too bad, this was a great little neighborhood wine shop and I will miss the wine tastings every Thursday nights. RIP

Awesome place to go and learn about wine! I’ve found a few new favorites through Cody’s recommendations, and have made it my wine shop of choice! Tastings on Thursdays are fun too, so if you haven’t been I’d check it out. I’ve had many great conversations here and look forward to many more.

Seems like a solid neighborhood wine shop and if I lived in the West Loop, this would be my local spot. Friendly staff and though the selection was very limited, it was at least diverse, decently curated, and interesting. They also appear to have a tasting bar. In the larger Chicago area there are other wine shops with vastly larger selections and much better prices so in summary, if you live nearby, this should be your local shop. If you are traveling more than a mile to get here, you are doing it wrong.

1340 is quickly becoming an institution in the neighborhood. I don’t know much about wine, but these guys (Derrick/Cody) take their time and always make me feel easy. One bottle at a time, right guys :p

One of my neighborhood favorites! Really cute patio in the back to hang out on a nice summer day, and they have free wine tastings every Thursday! And not the crappy kind with one bottle of wine and plastic cups, they always have 2 distributors each with several bottles to taste, actual wine glasses, snacks and music. VERY dog friendly! The owners are always there and are extremely welcoming and helpful.

They hosted my wedding reception and were nothing short of amazing! We were completely taken cared of as far as organization goes. They set up our buffet, our flowers, our cake and even provided a cake knife (which we completely forgot). They had so many wines to choose from and were all very friendly. If you need a place for an event or just buy a bottle of wine, these are the hosts you are looking for.

Im not a wine person. I found the owners to be incredibly helpful in finding a bottle of wine that was being purchased as a gift with my friends taste in mind. I will be back after discovering a very good craft beer selection as well which is very reasonably priced.

The Thursday happy hour was fantastic! The owners were extremely friendly, the distributor providing and serving the wines was knowledgeable, and the company and vibe of the event was great – I especially enjoyed the live music and the abundance of dogs (and dog photos).They even had St. Bernardus in stock.Overall, feels like a great addition to the neighborhood.

Love this little wine store. They have free tastings on Thursdays. The family is very sweet and knowledgeable.

There seems to have been a change of ownership from Madison Vine Wines, but not to worry - although they reconfigured the storefront, emphasized mix-and-match four packs of craft brews over unbroken fours and sixes and now have a bar (!), you still get the same courteous service and a solid selection of wines, spirits and beer.
