Welcome to Vinoteca

I founded this wine shop to share my passion for Spanish wine with Chicago. As the owner, I draw inspiration from my family’s love for food and wine. Originally from Mexico City, my family now resides in Barcelona, Spain. Lucky me!

I make it a point to visit them often, always underpacking to bring back as many bottles as I can fit in my suitcase.

My mom, a lifelong chef, has been a significant influence in my life, teaching me everything from baking bread to bottling kombucha in our kitchen. Her culinary artistry inspires me to share a piece of my home with my community here.

I believe that enjoying wine should be a joyful experience, and I strive to make your shopping journey approachable and unintimidating. I hope every sip brings you as much happiness as it brings me. Salud!
