    True wine merchants

    Sam's is a lot of fun to browse, but if you want to talk with their knowledgeable staff you have to avoid peak hours like Fridays at 5:00. Chicagoans should also check out Knightsbridge in Northbrook. Sometimes pricey, but every wine is there because he wants it to be. Definitely a Burgundy fanatic, but also tons of Bordeaux, Italian, and others. Still carries quite a few 1997 California Cabs, for example. Try finding those at Sam's or Binny's.
  2. Kristian, Sam's should definitely be your first stop. Their rum selection blows Binny's out of the water. I would guess something like 100+ types vs. 40 at Binny's, who seem to keep phasing out good rums in favor of Malibu or other flavored rums. Sam's will have several versions of Cadenheads beyond what is listed on the web site.
  3. I'd definitely try Applejack - they have an interesting selection. I try to stop whenever I'm in town. They also have some great deals on wine.
