Champagne to go in Chicago?

June 3, 2011 6:29 AM

I'd like to have a bottle of champagne delivered to my brother who just moved into a new place. I know there are online "champagne gift" delivery sites, but I wondered if somewhere local (to him) could do this just as well, for a little less money and keep the money with a small merchant.

He's in Chicago in the Gold Coast area - I'm sure there are plenty of places nearby. And would him not being home to receive the delivery be a problem? Though I'm sure his fancypants building has a doorman/concierge...

So, any recommendations for Chicago liquor delivery? Thanks!

I get wine through the mail on occasion. Most wine shops have containers that allow you to mail wine. I can't think of a more inexpensive way of sending it, than buying it local, and mailing it yourself.

check local flower shops, they might be able to do a delivery of a basket or something.

Definitely florists. They're set up to do this kind of delivery already.
