Sam's Wine and Spirits - Chicago, IL — 

First, I would like to say this is a great place if you want a wide selection of liquor at your finger tips. The staff seems to be very knowledgeable if it in there assigned area. I went to the beer section and I wanted to expand my  own selection and I asked the beer guy about the varieties that were available and he was fantastic he could tell you types, regions, countries and countless other info on the subject, and it has a very wide selection which would take you a couple of years to try them all.  Then I went over to Scotch malt liquor area (which I like when I smoke a cigar) once the guy who works in the area came over he went over all the varieties, prices, and differences of each type, so again wham! They knew it all!  The wines are the same wide selection very knowledgeable and from Boone's farm to Eastern Australian Shiraz they have it all.  My experience was quite nice my only problem is that it's not rock bottom pricing and not to many sales advertised.  If you need info and selection this is your place I recommend this place.  If your looking for rock bottom prices I would try looking at Binny's (i have reviewed that as well take a look).  If prices were a little cheaper it would be a solid 5 stars but its only 4.
