I’ve been using the East Bank wine storage for a number of years, but I would like to move my bottles out of the city. Ardel Cellars in Wood Dale seems to be associated with The Chicago Wine Company. Does anyone use Ardel for storage? If so, how is the place? I’m somewhat concerned about access periods, but I have a call in to them also.
Any info you have would be great. Thanks!
I’ve also used East Bank for several years and was considering moving to Ardel. I have been a long time customer of TCWC and took a tour of Ardel when they first opened. The facilities were very nice but at the time at least the pricing was a fair amount higher than what I am paying at East Bank. If the pricing is competitive I would seriously consider moving. Good Luck!
I heard back from someone this morning. Arden is definitely run by TCWC. Unfortunately, Arden is only accessible with TCWC is open, which is 9-5 M-F. That’s pretty useless as a wine storage facility. So I’ll have to keep looking for a Chicago Suburb wine storage facility.
