Knightsbridge has made an inexplicably large impression upon this young wine collectors palette…read more Like many in the pandemic, I was left without an ability to visit any establishments. Inevitably this led me turning to the internet for ways to explore my growing affection for wine. Up until this point I mistook french wine in particular to be "overrated" and bland. When I saw Knightsbridge offered the opportunity to deliver a relatively affordable 2 decade old Bordeaux from a reasonable vintage and grower at a good price, I took a leap and went for it. What transpired will forever have changed my view of french wine, leading me quickly down a rabbit hole I have yet to see the end of. All this to say: I believe in the reputability (storage conditions, authenticity of product, etc...)of their offerings as well as the fairness of the price point here. I'm sure to revisit the store again.

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.

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.

The excitement of winning the lottery happened when I got the right to buy the one bottle I really didn't want and it was at double the top end of MSRP.

This is a great spot if youre willing to make a quick drive just outside of the city. Old Chicago is just inside Lake county so depending on your brand...its pretty worth the trip. Im partial to Newports and I pay about half the price per pack (approx.$54/carton). They also have a 3 pack special. I always buy a carton so I could save on time and the hassle of the drive. Honestly..you think a carton is a bit much? Be realistic with yourself. I mean dont get me wrong..Im not a chimney and smoke like 3packs/day, but its always cost/time effective to buy in bulk. I am loyal to this place and make my trek once a month. They probably have whatever tobacco related product youre in the market for. Staff is laid back and easy going. Did I mention you could smoke in house? They even have leather couches and a big screen setup to hang out..though its usually in and out for me. I love when businesses post certain signs so I have to mention those at the registers: "Absolutely no service when you are on your cell phone." It might not be an exact quote but I cannot think of a better business motto to go by.
