There's no food here but the wine selection is amazing! A great store with a vast selection!…read more The staff here were welcoming to us as first timers. It's a great store that is nice, open and airy. Great vibes! Blaine, I believe was staff and he was great! Showed us around, we tried some bubbly and we learned about wine happy hours on Thursdays and Saturdays from 5pm-7pm. We can't to go back and enjoy tastings and buy wine off the shelves!

I was stunned to see a poor customer service review b 'cause while any wine aficionado in the U of C community is going to be a tad bit aloof--wine snobs--rude they are not.

Binny's is back open for all of your beverage needs! Today I ventured in for a online pickup order…read morethat was ready in less than 4 hours. The online purchase process was painless. They also offer shipping and curbside pickup. I had to stop the customer service desk to pickup my order. One of the guys at the desk was not sure how to process my order so I had to wait for the manage. Please note, face mask was required for all those entering the building! They also have sani spray for the shopping carts and baskets! I am happy this location has reopened.

Self-Checkout Would Be an Upgrade -- The Staff Sure Aren't…read more.. Yeah, I get it -- a lot of us who shop here probably look like giant losers (myself included). But that doesn't excuse the staff from acting like they're being punished for showing up. Most of the cashiers are rude, dismissive, or completely uninterested -- it's almost impressive how consistently unpleasant they can be, no matter how polite you are. Honestly, Binny's could save a ton of money by just installing self-checkout machines. At least the robots wouldn't roll their eyes or sigh like you've asked them to file your taxes. Then there's the armed security -- they look more like they just finished doing a robbery than preventing one. I don't even feel safer with them around; it's more like shopping inside a crime documentary. And don't get me started on the parking lot -- it's a total nightmare. At night it feels sketchy, like the kind of place you might get stuck up just walking to your car. Maybe Binny's should focus on improving that experience too, because honestly, it's not that hard to just drive to the South Loop location instead. I really miss the old Binny's that used to be on the corner of 53rd in the Hyde Park Bank building -- that place was intimate, welcoming, and the staff were actually helpful and friendly. This new location, on the other hand, constantly gives you that feeling like someone's watching over your shoulder, waiting for you to steal something. I'm sure theft happens here -- but maybe take a cue from Target. They handle it quietly and strategically, without making every paying customer feel like a suspect. This location could be a great asset to the neighborhood, but right now it's just a stressful stop. Be safe.

Look what I found in my Silver Oaks Wine stash!…read more I asked Bing: "What is the 'Wine Spectator' rating of a 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon?" The response is EXACTLY what I expected which is why I asked to confirm-"Wine Spectator rated the overall vintage 99 points. The only other vintage to ever receive a near-perfect score was the legendary 1997 vintage, and Robert Parker has rated the 2007 vintage higher than 1997."
