I opened Chicago wine shop Cellar Rat in 2007 to provide the Wicker Park and Bucktown neighborhood with great, authentic, affordable wine from small, family-owned wineries. These are not the factory made wines you'll find at grocery and big box stores! And roughly 75% of the wines in the shop cost $19.99 or less.
