Natural wine bar with Midwest charcuterie and seasonal tartines
"Apero is a small wine bar in North Center with a back patio and an approachable drink list, whether you’re a brix expert or someone who needs to ask Siri what brix is. The menu covers a wide range, from bubbly rosés to citrusy skin contacts, with only about four choices per type of wine and glasses priced between $12-$19. They also have a short food menu with small bites and a couple of entrees—the seasonal tartines are particularly tasty, like one with pesto, pickled strawberries, and trout roe." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Apero is a small wine bar (there are only a few tables and barstools) in North Center with an approachable drink list that’s great whether you’re a brix expert or someone who needs to ask Siri what brix is. The menu covers a wide range, from bubbly rosés to citrusy skin contacts, with only about four choices per type of wine and glasses priced between $12-$19. They also have a short food menu with small bites and a couple of entrees—the seasonal tartines are particularly tasty, like one with pesto, pickled strawberries, and trout roe. The cozy space can fill up quickly with North Centerians, but that’s the perfect excuse to check out their back patio." - John Ringor

"A French-style wine bar called Apero’s aims to open in June or July at 4160 N. Lincoln Avenue in North Center, where owner Robert Cervantes hopes to offer Great Lakes and international wines, Midwest-sourced charcuterie, and secure a sidewalk cafe permit pending a zoning change for a tavern license." - Naomi Waxman
"The owners of Reclaimed Bar and Restaurant in North Center are opening a second-floor wine bar called Scoperta Wine Bar, opening April 15. It features a 12-seat bar, a table for wine dinners, and a lounge." - Naomi Waxman
