Just a slightly off-topic FYI, Sam's was sold last year to Binny's, a competitor with a bunch of stores in the Chicago area. Sam's is gone. Binny's took over the massive Sam's store near North Ave and Clyborn (the one referenced by Ed/Rum Guy), and have signigificantly reduced the breadth of the selection. They now have fewer choices in all major booze categories - rum, gin, liqueurs, whiskey, etc. The wine selection is still very good, but smaller.
