Well, I'm back from Chicago. Thanks to all for the shopping suggestions. Due to time constraints, I only managed to visit a Binny's close to where I was staying. Overall, the selection was decent, but not amazing. Good Oregon pinot section. Some purchase highlights include the '99 Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes CdP for $27, the '99 Finca Allende Calvario Rioja for $44 (seen for around $60 elsewhere), and the big finish: a Ken Wright 2001 Guadalupe Vineyard Pinot Noir that should have cost $36, but was erroneously rung up as a '98 Kendall Jackson Zin for $15 (being the honest sort, I would have mentioned it at time of purchase if I had noticed, but didn't realize it until I was back home).

A few other observations: no enthusiastic help from sales folks and no mixed case discount. However, I can find my way around a wine store, so I wasn't upset about the former. And, seeing as that I can't find anything I bought in Atlanta, I'll suffer the latter.

Another note: Delta lost my wine (I checked it on the plane) on the way home, and it wasn't located until the following day. Glad it's not mid summer! Any ideas how long I should let it rest from the trip before I pop a bottle?
