I go here for all my party planning needs. The people who work here couldn't be more helpful and they don't even make fun of me for knowing absolutely nothing when it comes to wine!

Sam's is the most wonderful place ever. I love to go wander their aisles grabbing bottles of delicious wine. I also love the fact they have loads of wines to taste. A great beer selection - they had…

Probably the best beer selection in the city. Being a beer drinker, this is important for me, as I'm always trying to find something new and different for my home consumption. My experience with staff…

Sam's you make me so happy. So what if things get dusty in your warehouse, or that I keep missing your killer sales, even though you send me email updates? You really know what a girl likes. You've…

Sam's has gone downhill slightly ever since having a number of legal issues... Along with these changes their prices have gone up. And because of the sinking dollar, prices have gone up even more.…

I had a really funny experience here . . . . I go waddling in with my big pregnant belly with the intent of picking up some cheese from the cheese department. . . . Obviously I am not there for the…

The best place to start a weekend. Sam's certainly hits a high note on wine. Everything that has been suggested by their staff has been great, but then again I'm no wine snob. The "wine tastings"…

Sam's may not have everything I want, but they certainly make the effort to get it. I'd give them five stars if there weren't times the phone rang endlessly without being answered, forcing me to call…

Check out their Grand Tastings as well - if you're into a specific region its well worth the tasting fee. We went to the one for Spain (it's basically all the new releases) and there were about 25-30…

Remember back to your youth. Think of your most favorite place to go, be it to a baseball game, the zoo, or an amusement park. Got it? Good. For those of you who enjoy wine, spirits, or a good…

I've been to Sams on many occasions and needed to make a stop there to buy enough drinks for 150 people. I realized there was absolutely no way I would be able to carry this all myself so I gave them…

The first time I walked into Sam's, I was flabbergasted. A big warehouse of booze. I got dizzy at the sight. Go to Sam's on a weekend afternoon and find yourself a great wine. There are about 20 or 30…

I used to go to Binny's because it was convenient to where I lived in Wrigleyville, but since finding this place I find it hard to go anyplace else but Sam's. They have a huge selection and a nice…

As a San Franciscan transplant to Chicago, I can't tell you how happy I was to find this place in a beer-drinking kind of town. Hog heaven for wine geeks.

I needed a bottle of wine to be sent to an executive at the home office in Chicago. I called in the morning, they made a reccomendation in my price range and delivered it the same day! Terrific job.

When you need wine, look no further. The people who work here can help you with anything, and they can also help you find anything. They are so nice and they make great suggestions as well- and they…

They had a specialty wine that my mother couldn't find anywhere else. She now makes sure to swing by on her way out of town. & any place that makes Mom happy, makes me happy.

this place has everything. the only downside for me is that I now live in NYC so I can't go there. Amazing selection and great prices. I often go on their website now and just drool.
