The selection is vast, and while there are expensive, aged wines, there are also many great selections under $40. The store is also very well organized, so if you are looking for a certain type of red wine, country of origin, etc., you will quickly be able to find what you need. If not, the staff quickly point you in the right direction. Love this place!

I had to go up to a cashier to ask where a particular product was, and then she had to call someone over to help me (he was very nice and found the item for me).

We were in the area and saw online they were having their Annual Wine Warehouse sale so we decided…read moreto make a visit. This local liquor store in Skokie has been in business since 1936 offering an great selection of wines and spirits. They also have a small deli offering gourmet food products. Their retail store has a huge selection of spirits and wines. Prices are slightly higher than some "Box" stores but if you sign up to be a CAP member,prices are reduced on some items. Their Warehouse Wine sale was super crowded in a separate warehouse with thousands of cases of wines at reduced prices. They did offer free tastings of many of the wines on sale . If you love wine Schaefers in definitely the place to go when in the Skokie area.

They carry just about every imaginable liquor as well as wine and beer and also have everything you need for a charcuterie board inside the historic shop. Many rare and expensive bottles were locked up and on display. In the warehouse they had cases of wine stacked and an open bottle on each one for tasting. Complimentary popcorn and cheese spreads were available as well as huge baskets of bread for palate cleansing. The place was packed with people loading up their carts with bottles and they had a drive through lane marked off outside for case orders to be loaded into your vehicle. Staff was on hand to answer questions but it felt like if you don't ask they weren't going out of their way to be helpful.

Had about 45 minutes to kill so I wandered into this little pub on Davis. Nice enough looking place…read morebut not the right music (too "poppy" for the environment). I couldn't make out the beers on tap so I asked the sad sack behind the bar (he didn't welcome me when I sat down) about the beers. He read off the names of the three (of six) I could see so I ordered one. The other three will forever by a mystery. He pours me a 12 oz. "Cold Time" (produced by local brewery Revolution) in a standard (read "dull") mug and places it in front of me. Then he hands me a menu and tells me it's happy hour for 45 more minutes. I ask if the beer he just poured me is the "rotating draft of the month" -- on the happy hour menu for $5. "No," he says (without explanation). So what I want to know is should I have a) just walked out right then and there, b) told him I wanted to change my order, or c) introduced him to the idea that maybe (just maybe) he might have told me about the happy hour special as soon as I sat down like a normal bartender (I bartended through my 20s).

His monthly wine club too is the best and a great way to discover new wines.

It was obvious that the selection of wines was carefully curated by someone who is passionate about wine. A brief conversation with Guy, the shop owner, confirmed my suspicions. Guy was kind, knowledgeable, and generous with his expertise. There were a number of excellent producers represented in the collection and Guy was happy to make suggestions about drinking windows and pairings. A really fun place to shop -- highly recommended.
