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 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.

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.

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.
