Eat/Drink: Salute Wine Bar

46 E Superior St, at Wabash; Gold Coast; 312.664.0100

Housed in the rehabbed pre-Victorian Hennessy House, this cherry tabled, restored brick bedecked wine bar is pouring 70 bottles of vino repping 20 different Italian regions accompanied by an assortment of small plates (white bean and roasted red pepper bruschetta on herb goat cheese crostini, wild mushroom tapenade on endive, etc) and sammies like the "Salute" (prosciutto, Gorganzola, and truffled fig butter) and the "Grazie" -- smoked turkey drizzled w/ basil pesto and a hash of dehydrated cranberries, who were killed and cooked in a weakened state after drinking in the sun all day.
