I went with friends on Sunday before going out to dinner, and I was really impressed and enjoy the idea of wine tasting, conversing, and eating. It was a wonderful offering with a good selection of wines. We had a fantastic vacation and will be back very soon. We appreciated the kind service and the lovely setting!
I was a little tipsy, but this wine is definitely one of a kind! When it comes to serving wine, this wine shop really provides the highest quality and service. Everything was very pleasant in this area, and the fees were also very low. I will undoubtedly recommend this shop to everyone, including my friends and family. Thank you so much!
This wine shop is the perfect place to taste high-quality, good wines. The service was fast, and it was thanks to these people who had done it so expertly. I had a wonderful time with my girlfriend, and were certain that this wine shop will be our first choice from now on. Thank you so much!
This place is great! A good place to hang with your friends and they always come up with a treat or surprise to the customers. The management and staff were very warm and friendly. The place is cozy enough for you can easily settle right away. I always love drinking wines at this place. I would definitely come back here again.
This wine shop is outstanding! They are always my favorite and my go-to wine shop every time I needed it. The staff is amazing and always interesting to interact with. The prices are not cheap, but once you taste you understand why. This is truly a wonderful place. Thank you very much and have a great day ahead.
Cute shop, nice staff. Booze, cheese, Jenis Ice cream, no regrets. Mostly beer and wine with an assortment of some kinda random liquors (although I tried a random and very tasty bourbon there once and will likely roll the dice again some day). Ask for recommendations, they are very helpful people.
Ill be giving my 5 stars to this wine shop all the way. Tom was one of the people who helped me. To my high hopes, he never fails me. Highly suggested for gatherings and colleagues as well as for an exceptional environment. For me, it was a fun experience for the first time. An exceptional place to visit!
Shad and his accomplice are incredibly knowledgeable and immensely helpful when it comes to putting together a charcuterie (including but not limited to: mustards, jams, nuts, olives, peppers, crackers, spreads). They will ask all the right questions to pinpoint what flavor profile youre looking for as well as the overall quantity (eg, how many people are you serving). Augusta also has a fine hand-picked selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Great for gift baskets (which they assemble in house)!
Picnic at home in Winter! Whats not to like about Wine & Cheese and delicious spreads from here?Just completed the amazing experience of ordering from South Africa for delivery in Chicago. Understandably I was worried not knowing anything about Augusta Food and Wine and all communication was via email not to mention the time difference of 8 hours. However, Shad could not have been more helpful if hed tried!Suggestions of wine, cheese and spreads were made (vegetarian recipients) and apparently everything was delicious. Even a handwritten note was included. Just Perfect.
Friendly service & easy small selection of items not to overwhelm. Although, I bought a cheese that the “serve by this date” had lapse at its full retail price. I’m sure the cheese is fine & depends by shop policy but usually these get discounted a bit.Great corner store.
This was not my first time visiting this lovely place. I have the same experience every time I visit! With a bunch of friends, all of whom enjoyed their food, I had a wonderful meal. The workers were very friendly and very helpful. I enjoyed the variety of wines and appreciated the expertise of the staff to help us choose a wine. Ill certainly come back again soon!
Local treasure and I’ve enjoyed every bottle I’ve purchased. They select the wines, great cheese and sweets. I really like neighborhood entrepreneurs especially ones I can walk to and support. Grab a bottle or two and enjoy.
Contacted the store about getting a gift basket delivered to my brother, who lives near Andersonville. The owner got back to me quickly and was very friendly and easy to commicate with. I had a couple accomodations needed for my basket (for allergies, etc). He was very kind in taking care of those. I live in MT, so was worried it would be difficult to get a custom basket ordered for someone in Chicago, but Shad was very communicative and made it super easy. Even hand wrote my note for the basket. All in all, a great experience for a very reasonable price. I would totally shop there again. Thanks!
This experience plays with your classical expectations, enhances some, and turns others on their head. The quality of the ingredient is exceptional. The service is stellar. The wine selections are wonderful. You will not leave without learning something, and you will not leave hungry. Deserved to be recommended!
I have been coming here for a few months now. Their prices are very affordable and way cheaper than any other wine store in the city. I always buy here my fathers favorite, Mussel Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Most of the wine shop was always out of stock, but this shop never runs out of stock and I am glad about that.
Purchased a gift basket for Christmas. Amazing selections and recipient was very excited to try out all the goodies. Excellent customer service too! Will definitely purchase from them again!
The shop provide the different category of wine which one is my favorite is Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Effusive aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, floral, mineral and tobacco are at the center of this linear, vibrant red. That really tastes good. This wine shop is my favorite place in this area.
Knowledgeable staff. Was able to recommend and awesome wine with the criteria I gave him, taking price range into account. Highly recommended for that!!
An intimate shop with a wonderfully eclectic assortment of wines. You can fond your true favorite here!
Always an interesting, unique selection of wines at many price points. Friendly people too. Support local small business!
Friendly service & easy small selection of items not to overwhelm.
One of two spots (L&M Fine Foods) in the surrounding area that can really say they sell organic or natural wine. On top of that, its a one-stop shop for delicious, cheap never-better baguettes from La Boulangerie.Treated myself one time on cold night to a bottle of wine, not being a serious wine drinker or connoisseur, and became really invested in the occasional table wines theyd put out from France, Croatia, Greece and Italy.
Perfect wine and cheese recommendations every time. Wine shops like Augusta with its personal service and individual personality are in rare supply. Support local businesses!
Free tastings on Thursday during non-COVID times and a very good cheese selection. Wines are a bit pricey for what they are but worth it for the cheese.
The owner is so warm and inviting, you can learn a lot about cheeses and wine here. Great place to go. Free wine tasting on Thursday evening. Check it out😊
Great, and many times unusual wines you wont find at a big box. All at reasonable prices. The owner is a great guy as well. Also as a side note the best baguettes in the city
This is the second time Ive been here and its fantastic. Fairly inexpensive for. Very good wine. I havent bought any of the food yet, but the staff is very friendly. Maggie was very sweet and helpful both times.
Fantastic wine selection and unique food items too. Great for picking up nibbles for either a picnic or a party. Local business at its finest.
My girlfriend and I stopped into Augusta Food and Wine this evening to grab a quick bottle of wine and what a pleasant surprise. We hadn’t previously been in but it definitely surpassed our expectations. We will be making more regular visits after tonight. The shop in general is quaint and charming with warm staff who are willing to answer any questions. The selection of wines is a unique blend of international and domestic at varying prices. We also enjoyed the informative notes to give us a taste of the wines without actually tasting. In addition, the store is stocked with a wonderful selection of specialty groceries to top off anyone’s evening. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to try some of the specialty cheeses offered soon. They looked delicious. Overall, this place is a sweet stop anytime and I would recommend a visit. Plus, its located right across from the Western Brown Line station.
Great selection of wine, cheese, and specialty foods. We find wines here we cant get at other shops. Great value on all products. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Best baguette in town!
Great wine shop with carefully curated collection by the owner. Nice range of wines ranging in price from low of $10 to over $50. Unique labels that are hard to find elsewhere. Nice selection of charceuterie, cheese, gourmet foods. Owner is great about recommendations. Very pleasant atmosphere. Weekly wine tastings.
Owner (Shad) was very helpful/knowledgeable. Had me sample some cheese before purchasing and explained the milk used to make it. Didnt get any wine but they have a decent selection. Will come back for another visit.
Amazing shop! The owner is knowledge beyond reproach and has a great selection! Highly recommend!
One of my favorite wine shops in the city. Fantastic selection that constantly rotates with excellent curated wines. Friendly staff and great location to Lincoln Square. Highly recommended.
My experience with Agusta Food and wine is always good. They carry very eclectic food items which is great. Also they have the best baked bread. Its a hidden gem inside my neighborhood of Lincoln Square. I havent tried the wine collection but looking forward to it!
This place is fantastic! Awesome and various wine selection with a wide range of prices -- its great for a everyday $10-12 wine to a special occasion $30+. They also have a great cheese selection and you always get to taste before you buy. The Thursday wine tasting rocked -- nice pours of great wine.
Effortless, always the best wine.Everything is fantastic and its fun!
This little shop right outside of the Western Brown Line stop is a perfect spot to grab a reasonably priced bottle of wine on your way home from work. Tracy does a great job of bringing in tasty wines from different regions so you can try something new. She also keeps track of your purchases so you can always ask her about your previous selections.
Cool little shop. Hope to visit more often and check the other wares
Best gift basket ever!! I am beyond impressed with the products and customer service here. The owner worked with me to customize a gift basket for delivery, and he instantly understood what I wanted and put together a perfect selection of new and old favorites, both food and beverage. I will use him every chance I get, and plan to visit his shop next time I’m in Chicago. Shad is a great guy, knows his food and wine, and went the extra mile (yes, I’m talking about the Peeps - not in his usual inventory) to deliver a fun and memorable Easter basket. No need to settle for an unimpressive pre-packaged gift basket when you have this great option. Shad - I think my son is planning to visit you soon, for a refill on pretty much everything you put in the basket, most especially that craft beer you recommended and the reggiano (and the prosciutto, and the rose’). Thanks so much.
Excellent curated wines. The owner does the work of finding great wines for you. Nothing over priced
Good and esoteric selection and well versed in the product
Superb little wine and food shop whos proprietor has personally curated an outstanding selection of wines.
Shad has a beautifully curated selection of unique and interesting wines with elegant, succinct descriptions which make everything accessible, even to laymen like myself. With a price and profile range covering everyday wines to special occasion showstoppers and the consistent availability of perfect cheese pairings, Augusta will please just about everyone.
The woman working was very friendly and helpful in tasting and picking out a few cheeses. Their selection of cheese and wine is smaller but of good quality, and the experience there is a pleasure.
Every selection Ive had from Augusta has been excellent. Great variety, interesting choices, and very reasonable prices.
Excellent wine, cheese & other delicacies, sold at reasonable prices by friendly & helpful people, in Lincoln Square.
Remarkably will stocked with quality stuff for such a small store
Small, but mighty selection. Fresh bread and other small items.
A cosy local wine and cheese shop.
Great selection & service
Curated selection of wine and cheese with great knowledge from the owner
Really happy with wine delivery
Agusta is our go to spot for our weeknight bottles of wine as well as gifts for friends and family! Great wine selection and specialty foods.
Great wines, great help, we visit often
Dog Friendly Neighborhood Wine Shop!!! Plus Thursday tasting during framers market!
Shad was so helpful and the wine selection was very unique!! You need to stop in today
Best wine and vinegrate place in Lincoln Square!
Great wines, great cheeses.
Youll never want to buy wine or cheese anywhere else again.
Great drinks!
Loved it
Awesome store
