Back when the Democrats were last in the White House, we lived on the West Side and 67 Wine & Spirits was our neighborhood wine shop. We remember the place before they expanded and moved the red wine to the second floor and kept the whites on the main floor with the spirits.
It is a big store and not much has changed, but they do have a lot of inventory and you need time to navigate through it. Take a look at the cases in the center of the main floor which are the promotional wines. It is best to shop earlier in the day when it is less crowded and the cashier people are not likely to be frazzled. We would try and stay away on the eve of big holidays.
On their website they have a category called wine toys. In their upstairs window there is a nice collection of flasks in all shapes and sizes. The flask with the two spouts would make a nice anniversary gift. The website also lists the sales people by wine specialty, and you can e-mail them with questions and your feedback. We e-mailed a question on a specific grand cru Burundy and got an answer back in a couple of hours which was impressive.
