    i. Biography

    Louis Fabbrini is the Wine Director and Assistant General Manager at Smyth and The Loyalist in Chicago. The official Smyth team page identifies him as Wine Director, and Smyth’s beverage program page describes him as selecting small-production, naturally made wines that emphasize regenerative farming, minimal intervention, and close relationships with producers. Smyth also says he builds pairings around storytelling and emotional cadence rather than strict flavor-matching, and third-party coverage notes his work supports Smyth’s three-Michelin-star dining experience.
