"Specialty food shops, like Beautiful Rind — which specialize in gourmet cheese — aren’t abundant in Chicago, which is disappointing for a city this size. Beyond a great selection of cheeses, meats, and snacks, Beautiful Rind has a menu of wonderful sandwiches, wines, and cocktails. This gives it a wine bar feel, and an escape from Milwaukee Avenue’s hustle and bustle." - Eater Staff
"Cheeses. Such beautiful cheeses. There’s no simpler way to pair wine than with a host of the best artisan cheeses from around the world. Beautiful Rind, situated in Logan Square, features rotating pours each week and will open any bottle from the retail section for a $5 corkage fee. Pairing classes and tastings are held regularly and $15 half-bottles of wine and $10 cheese boards are available during happy hour from 3-5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Make a reservation through Tock." - Ashok Selvam
"This new cheese shop and cafe in Logan Square has (of course) a fantastic selection of cheeses, and offers a variety of different wines too. Send someone a charcuterie spread with a bottle of wine, one of the curated “treat boxes,” or better yet, their “cheese for dinner” plate, which is exactly what it sounds like. Either way, more cheese is a good thing. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"A Chicago cheese shop that hosts sold-out public tyromancy sessions and workshops; the events pair a short presentation on the history of cheese in magic and how to read cheese with live demonstrations and hands-on readings. During group sessions one person is read aloud for the crowd, then attendees study their own cheeses while the reader circulates to give individualized interpretations—an interactive format that benefits both the presenter and the shop through partnership and space-sharing. Attendees typically find the readings fun, quirky, and surprisingly accurate, often taking photos and hugging the reader afterward, and sessions frequently sell out with waitlists." - Kathy Adams
