Pouring for a Purpose: A Fireside Wine Experience with SECC!
You are invited to kick back and relax at this cozy, in-person gathering where every sip supports the programs of The South East Chicago Commission.
On Tuesday, January 27, 2026 enjoy a fabulous wine tasting experience curated by Black & Woman owned, Shall We Wine, a Chicago-based lifestyle brand by Regine T. Rousseau—an award-winning wine & spirits educator, certified sommelier, dynamic media personality, and lifestyle advisor.
Soak in the warm vibes and great company at Mesler Kitchen and Bar, Hyde Park’s gathering space for the curious and the cultured—where thoughtful conversation meets inspired cuisine in a setting rich with nods to literature, art, science, and music.
Meet Mesler Kitchen’s new chef Malcom Hilliard and enjoy bites from a New American–inspired menu, an eclectic infusion of flavors designed to spark connection and creativity.
Your ticket includes one entry into a prize drawing featuring fantastic giveaways such as hotel stays, gift certificates to local restaurants, and, of course, wine.
All guests will also receive a special gift from Mesler Kitchen and Bar.
It’s all about pouring with purpose, sharing good company, and having a great time for an amazing cause. Don’t miss this evening of fun, flavor, and feel-good moments!
