The following is all fairly current, although I have no personal knowledge of any except Evanston First Liquors, which appears to have a fairly good selection of supplies as well as friendly help; and Chicagoland Winemakers, which I have used for more than 10 years. Winemakers also sells mail order, and Rick Wilson is both knowledgeable and helpful.
