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.

Wide selection and great prices. I particularly liked the Japanese whisky and also MGP sourced bourbons here (Old Scout, Barrell, Pinhook, Old Elk etc). Well curated selection if you ask me. Staff was/is helpful and friendly as always. Long live Toni's !!

They don't stock the N/A wine I like and they have a limited section of N/A beer, even leading up to "Dry January"). For those who like THC drinks, they have fewer options as well. But I appreciate that they do keep some N/A items stocked here, as some is better than none! The staff here are very helpful as well. I had two folks ask me if I needed help (and they were able to help me) compared to the Evanston location where I had to wander around for 5 minutes just to find someone when I couldn't find a product that their website showed as being in stock, and ended up having to go up to a cashier to ask for help because there wasn't anyone on the sales floor.

So are you ready for my recap of our bourbon-rye-scotch whiskey tasting--I'll give it a shot!…read more Three tiers within each category (low, middle and HIGH)--within each category--that's some whiskey business. We had guests dropping by--so the house was neat. Once our friends were there--it was full of spirits. They had to score all the whiskeys, identify if it was bourbon, rye or scotch, and whether the bottle was a premium brand or top shelf--and this put everyone in a dram good mood. It was a barrel of laughs, I could barley get in a word edgewise. But that's ok, I had to grain and bear it. Some spirited arguments broke out over which was the highest priced bottle -- but fortunately no friendships were on the rocks over it. Did everyone enjoy the event? Here's proof -- they're asking us to repeat this. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot We got everything we needed for our soirée at Binny's, from the Filthy cherries to the mixers to the fine liquor to the mixologist implements.

We wanted a hard-to-find lychee malt beverage from San Miguel brewery, but unfortunately didn't find it. But the visit wasn't a total loss. In celebration of Cinco de mayo, most tequila's were on sale so decided to pick up a bottle for our hosts before visiting their home. Teremana Tequila Blanco is a well rated brand, founded by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. The store was well organized, though it was difficult to find all the tequila brands since they didn't seem to be in any particular order. You know they have a big selection when you wish the choices were organized like in a library. Checkout was easy, with plenty of cashiers ready to help on this non-busy day.
