I love this place so much. I moved in across the street for a short term lease not too long ago and…read morethese guys have been my lifeline through a lot of stress. I have befriended the staff since, they are so kind and down to earth. I asked them if I could have their old boxes from past deliveries and they gave me a whole bunch, which has saved me money and time as I prepare for my next move. They have a fantastic selection of wine, and just the spirit I've needed. Not to mention, the decor is very my style, I love the skeletons. Y'all are wonderful and I will still be a patron after I move despite any distance.

The rating hasn't changed, but I must report on their annual Wine Thing event, which was this past…read moreSunday. It's a fantastic event, and pretty popular. It works like this: They have about 100 wines set up to taste in a semi-circle around the store. A woman at the door checked our IDs, took our $5, and gave us a list of wines at each station. Everything being tasted was on sale for the day -- a minimum of 5% off with bigger discounts for larger quantities, up to 24% off. And then we were handed our "Wine Thing" wine glass (not to keep, alas) and a small bag of pretzels and headed in. This is not a huge store, so it was pretty crowded. But the people pouring the wines were as friendly and helpful as they could be, given the circumstances. And everyone was nice enough about letting people by, lubed up with good wine. Still, we had to emerge from the crowd every so often to get a little fresh air. But besides simply having more space for this event -- or maybe doing timed tickets or something? -- it's a GREAT way to taste a ton of wines from knowledgeable people and find a new favorite or two. :)

They are good at making wine-related concepts accessible, and they know their stuff if you have specific questions. They also offer liquor and some beer, and I like how they emphasize local items when they can. The pricing is fair as well.

I never write reviews, but felt others might benefit from our experience. We came into Chicago from…read moreout of state for the weekend. We made a special trip into Perman on the recommendation of our dinner server who suggested we would be able to find a sparkling wine we'd had during the meal. While we love wine, we'd never had this wine before and knew very little about the varietal. We were told the wine was hard to find and Perman was our best bet, so we gave it a shot. We were the only people in the store and Craig was very nice and informative. The shop did indeed have the wine and Craig told us the cost on it was great, so we took his word on it and bought 3 bottles. Later that day, we were walking past a Binny's and popped in to find a locally made liquor. While there, we happened to walk down the wine aisles and found the wine we'd had just bought for $10 dollars/bottle less! We literally could have bought 4 bottles for the same price as the 3 bottles we bought at Perman. In our area, wine prices really don't vary considerably, so we didn't even think to "shop around". A dollar or two, sure, but felt this was pretty considerable. Of note, on searching their website, Perman apparently does not do returns and does no price adjustments. Shame on us for not doing more research, but i guess we'll know for next time.

While there, I got a six pack of Heineken light for hosting needs. The man working there was overall friendly and helpful.

A few weeks later, I have noticed that the bottles of Heineken light are from 2023. What on earth? Where is the quality control? I tried to call them first, doing so within business hours, but not only did they not pick up, the call immediately went to a few beeps and then disconnected. That is weird!
