From his love-letter to the small vineyards in Spain and Portugal at Porto to his spotlight on under-the-radar natural wines at GoodFunk, Bonhomme Director of Wine & Education Colin Hofer always digs deep when it comes to creating the wine lists at our venues. And we aren’t the only ones who think so. Colin was recently awarded the 2022 Chicago Sommelier Award from Michelin.

When your natural wine bar is named GoodFunk, Bonhomme Director of Wine & Education Colin Hofer didn’t have to look far for names for the Loop spot’s wine flights.

At its core, wine is simply fermented grape juice. But somewhere along the way, it’s often become a beverage of privilege and complicated language. GoodFunk, our new natural wine bar and café in the Loop along Wacker Drive, aims to flip that dialogue by focusing on wine made with minimal intervention and no pretense.
