At least that has been what I have experienced unless I go to the big chain liquor store. Vineyard is something completely different. There are rows of spirits and a well stocked cooler.

Their selection is great and the staff is knowledgeable. My husband and his family that live in the area have been going there for years. This is a local business that I love to support.

Valorie makes sure everything from wines to all different liquors and accessories are available. Terry is expert on craft brews and beer in general. My friends who do beer tell me "Terry knows his stuff". Jake is bringing in all the top shelf liquor. I prefer whiskey and Jake has ordered some specialties and full barrels that are unique. Recently, a barrel of blue popcorn whiskey from Whiskey Acres was a product that hit me by surprise. Special barrels from Elijah Craig and another from Makers Mark coming soon. Top brands like Belle Meade Bourbon as well conventional brands like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam product lines can all be bought here. You will feel like family when you visit the store and always greeted as a long lost friend.

Lundeen's has a huge selection of craft beer, wine and liquor. There hasn't been a time where I walk in this place and don't see anything new. This is one of my go-to places for craft beer. They have a good selection and the staff is pretty knowledgeable about all the different breweries. If there is something you want and they don't have they'll be happy to look up in their inventory to see if it's available. They'll also speak with reps from different distributors to check on specialty beer if you need something specific. If you love beer fests, Lundeen's ) has a kick ass Oktoberfest at the end of the year. A bunch of good breweries come by, you go in, listen to polka, eat some sausage and drink good beer. Hit up Lundeen's for all your boozey needs. Only complaint is sometimes the prices are inconsistent. Sometimes you can find the same beer down the street at Hyvee for a few bucks less, sometimes a few bucks more. Not sure why? Btw, if you're a 3 Floyds fan...they deliver on Wednesdays.

This was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The tour was a typical tour however the tour guide was phenomenal. Anna was so knowledgeable and personable. Again better than most of the tours we took in Kentucky. The grounds were beautiful, the drinks were well crafted and original amazing flavor. Great live music, games to play, and a food truck. Every person working was helpful and treated you like family. Bourbon is on the high end however when you hear and realize how much is locally sourced and their story it's worth it.

Prairie On State (unfortunately abbreviated as POS on their Facebook page) is the newer location…read morefor Prairie State Winery in Genoa. Having previously visited (and enjoyed) their other location, I was thrilled to see one opening in the more-accessible Sycamore. I am by no means a wine connoisseur; this is probably made clear by the fact that my favorite wines are always sweet. Luckily, POS caters to my tastes (and others as well). I have yet to dislike any of the sweet wines I have tried there. POS is the perfect place to come and check out different choices as well; you get a few free samples before you have to choose or pay for a full tasting. POS also offers a wine club, which allows you to receive a four-times-a-year selection of dry/semi-dry, sweet/semi-sweet, or mixed wines. While the prices vary a bit each time, they are reasonable at no more than $15 a bottle (and usually less than that). Another great innovation of both POS and Priarie State Winery is their Wine Downs--Friday-night events with wine and live music. These events are very popular and a great time to relax at the end of a long week. However, this is also the one area where I would rate POS as a 4/5 rather than 5/5. POS has minimal food options (bread, cheese and crackers are about it) and an early closing time (8 p.m. latest). This causes problems for anyone who wants to attend the Wine Downs because 1) there are few relevant restaurants nearby from which to bring in food (Mexican food and bar food are not the best wine pairings), 2) the store closes early enough that it is difficult to eat and get to spend much time relaxing, and 3) if you went out to dinner and then arrived at the Wine Down, you would not find a seat. Prairie on State is an excellent local winery option well worth checking out. If they could adjust their hours to stay open a little later and offer a few simple food options (basic pasta, paninis, or pizza options), they would be the perfect weekly hangout. As is? Still worth the visit--and the club.

Over a…read moreyear ago, I went in to buy around a dozenish bottles, the employee helping me suggested I join the wine club and I'm so happy I said yes! The discounts associated with the wine club are fantastic and I've been very happy with the "mix it up" option; a great selection of red, wine, and fruit wines. Whenever I have a party, my first stop is here to stock up on wines (Christmas and b-day shopping too;)). They are great about letting you taste the wines before buying and they have some very good deals on wine tasting. I highly recommend joining their wine club. I haven't been on a tour in Genoa yet but that's on my list of things to do at some point. For now, the Sycamore location is my main location for buying their wine. The store is nicely designed, everything is easy to find and the employees are extremely helpful (the main guy who works there -I'm terrible with names- has carried my wine to my car several times which I really appreciate). Overall, they know their wine, they're passionate about it and completely willing to help you. So glad they're in Sycamore (and Genoa).
