Barrel and Heritage gets liquor commission OK to sell tequila
Barrel and Heritage, formerly known as Tasting deVine, is one step closer to expanding its menu offerings following approval from the Naperville Liquor Commission at its Thursday meeting.
The business, which offers wine, beer, and whiskey tastings, will soon be able to add specialty tequilas to the list, after liquor commissioners voted to amend its current Class S1 liquor license to include tequila sales. Consumption at the establishment would be limited to no more than 3 ounces per person per day, but guests would have the option to purchase a bottle.
The request now goes to the Naperville City Council for a final decision.
