Black-owned wine bar with Black producers' wines, charcuterie
"A new wine and charcuterie bar has opened on Chatham’s 75th Street corridor. A long-awaited dream from South Side couple Jacare Thomas and Charlette Stanton, Park Manor 75 highlights wines and spirits from Black-owned producers alongside cocktails curated by mixologist Josh Davis. The menu by chef Ronald Taylor features flatbreads named after Chicago neighborhoods, like the Park Manor topped with roast beef, lamb, tzatziki, and mild sauce." - Jeffy Mai
"A rare Black-owned wine bar set to open in August on the South Side near the Grand Crossing–Chatham border that aims to expand racial diversity in a predominantly white wine industry. The first hospitality venture from spouses Charlette Stanton and Jacare Thomas will seat about 60 across two sections and features a deliberately concise, rotating seasonal list of four wines from Black producers (including McBride Sisters, Love Cork Screw, and Chicago-based Black Feather Winery) to avoid overwhelming novices. Offerings include charcuterie boards and small plates from chef Ronald Taylor (whose background includes developing in-flight menus for Gate Gourmet and work at the Edgewater Madison) and cocktails made with spirits from Black-owned distilleries. The owners plan tastings and educational events to demystify wine, spotlight Black vintners, and build community—continuing their work with local groups like Noir Urban Arts Collective and CeeBlaq Social Club—while they finalize city licensing before opening." - Naomi Waxman
