Norwood Park Wine & Spirits 6056 North Northwest Highway, Chicago, IL 60631

"They advertise different products to get you in the store. They triple the price of tequila fortaleza, look somewhere else."

"Recently moved nearby so I figured I would check it out and get a bottle of wine. I appreciate the convenience near the train and other businesses. The store is small but manages to have a decently broad selection of wines at various price points, achieved in part by tall shelves and narrow aisles. The wines are mostly arranged by variety. I do not drink beer but there seemed to be a strong selection of beer as well. On the downside, prices are higher, the wine I bought was $15.99 but a google search showed other places sold it from as low as $9.99 to $16; with the vast majority being about $12.99 - so expect to pay a bit more for that bottle of wine grabbed for dinner. The other downside, I spent over 20 minutes getting a feel for how the wine was arranged and options and no one once asked me if I needed help, offered a greeting as I entered or noticed me. Nor was there much guidance - aside from producer generated "guides" here and there, a few bottles said "staff picks" with no guidance - why? is it fruity? crisp? So you will either need to know your wines before you go in or be willing to buy "blind". For a small local store, more interaction would be nice (visited on a Friday around 5:30 pm)"

"Great place. They worked with me to get a keg, even though they don’t sell them usually, for a party. Great selection too. Can’t beat it."

"The selection is great and the staff is outstanding. They are the only place I know that can get me hard to find bottles of whiskey and bourbon. Outstanding neighborhood small business"

"I haven't actually been here, but I'm sure it's awesome. Thing was, we came out to Vito's last week, mid day. Sadly, the place was closed. Not only that, there was a wooden sawhorse in front with police tape all over it. On closer look, many of the stores had for lease signs! Further, there were no parked cars! Was the whole block being demolished? Panic washed over us. Where would we get our Romano? Our Parm? It took all my strength not to jump the curb and drive thru a plate glass window. Fewf."
