The best wine store in Chicago

JUL

2007

I have shopped at Sam's Wine & Spirits in Lincoln Park for the last ten years. I love the store for many reasons. Before I get into them, one important disclosure. I know Brian Rosen and Fred Rosen. Brian is the current CEO and his father Fred was the founder of the store. I met him many...

Very overwhelming at first but has great selection and deals.

You must be prepared to spend some time at Sam's to get the most out of it, as it is not the kind of place you can run in and out of. If you have the time, you will find great wines and great prices, as well as wines that can't easily be found elsewhere. The staff is definitely hit or miss. I have had... read full review »

Everytime I have gone to Sam's the people are very helpful to me. One time and employee started to search the internet for a wine I had at a restraunt that I love. She looked up the restraunt and found there wine list for me. Then I was abe to get the right wine. I will always come back to Sam's.

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...

i had placed an order in early december, yes i know it's holiday time and yes i know that's when people place big orders. i was told mine would ship within 3 days, which was sweet, would be here on time for x-mas and since it was partly a gift my life wouldn't be bad. so then 4 days later i email them to ask if it's shipped or not or what the status of my order was. got nothing back. So I called them last monday, took about 20 minutes to not a get a busy signal on their customer service number, after i did get through, they did promise me they would i would get my order on time and it was all ready... read full review »

Great Cheese Selection

Nice wine bar with very nice employees. We stopped in for a glass of wine at the end of a Bears home game and although the staff informed us that they needed to close early for a private function, they still served us a glass and did not rush us out the door. The cheese selection looked impressive and the prices seemed comparable. I would love to go back again.

An amazing 'warehouse' with the best prices on wine and spirits

I make a point of going to Sam's each time I am in the windy city. It is worth the drive from any point in Chicago. There is plenty of parking and helpful staff always assists by helping load my purchases into my vehicle. There are hard to find wines and champagnes at reasonable prices. Sam's has great prices on spirits as well.
