About Us

Park Manor 75 is more than just a wine and charcuterie bar—it’s the realization of a lifelong dream, built on love, community, and an unwavering commitment to creating a space where people can connect, unwind, and feel at home.
We’re Charlette and Jacare, high school sweethearts who met at 13 and have spent the last 22 years of marriage growing together, raising our three children, and pursuing careers that reflect our passion for excellence. Jacare recently earned his Doctorate in Education from USC, while Charlette brings her expertise as a consultant for an interior design firm. Though our professional paths have taken us in different directions, we’ve always shared one dream—to create a place on the South Side of Chicago that embodies culture, sophistication, and community.
Park Manor 75 is our love letter to the city and the neighborhood that shaped us. We see it as a “third space,” a warm and welcoming retreat where professionals, creatives, and neighbors can gather, celebrate, and experience an elevated yet approachable atmosphere. Our goal is to cultivate a space that reflects the vibrancy of our community while offering the kind of refined hospitality we take pride in.
For us, this is more than a business—it’s a legacy. A place to be proud of. A place where good wine, great music, and even better company bring people together. We can’t wait to welcome you.
