Looks like the Grinch collaborated on this fine holiday release. | |||

BARNAUT BLANC DE NOIRS BRUT GRAND CRU CHAMPAGNE anybody know anything about this? | |||
|
| Member |
Actually I can still find at least a few good daily drinkers that I'll want to track down. Lealtanza Rioja - running low on Rioja  Clavel Pic St Loup - my favourite region of Languedoc Wynns Cab | |||

CASETTA VIGNA CASE NERE Barolo Any experience with this one? +1 on the Grinch comment. Not much here, but at least that leaves room to get more of items already in stores, Classics leftovers, the upcoming online auction.... Is it too early to comment about how anemic the biweekly offerings have been all year? It seems they have sucked it dry with all the other 'special' offers and programs. | |||

Nevertheless, a pitiful few lumps of coal to put in your stocking!  | |||

These look to be decent values, but we'll likely need to go to Oakville for ISDs. For some reason, Burlington gets left out. | |||

Or Stoney Creek, not too far of a drive.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Fowler52, | |||

Agreed, but still frustrating that Burlington's not included. | |||

For anyone in the area, the most ridiculous tasting bar is set up right now at the Queens Quay LCBO. Highlights include: 2009 Masseto 2006 L'Ermita 2006 Grange 2008 Insignia NV Krug Grand Cuvee 2003 Dom Perignon Rose NV Armand de Brignac Brut Gold Champagne 2005 Cristal 2008 Margaux 2009 Opus One 2009 Sassicaia 2009 Tignanello 2004 Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Mazzano 2004 Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Campolongo di Torbe 2007 Guigal Cote-Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis 2006 Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto Rouge 2006 d'Yquem Two vintages of Haut Brion (didn't see which, but I think one is 2008) ... and a whole bunch more. They're also pouring Louis XIII for those that like Cognac. Even for those from K-W, it's probably worth the drive in to taste the wines! ______________________________________ Blog: http://www.cellarandtable.com | |||

so how do you trick them into letting you have more than 3 pours?  | |||

You can get four 1/2 oz pours or two 1 oz pours. I had 1/2 oz pours of the Masseto, L'Ermita, Grange, and Insignia. I was listing the other wines for people that might be interested in the rest of the selection available. Heck, if I wanted to drop more cash, I could pop over tomorrow and try some more. ______________________________________ Blog: http://www.cellarandtable.com | |||

Not sure if a taste of each is worth $15 per 1/4 ounce.... | |||
|
| Member |
The Masseto was $11 per half ounce. L'Ermita a little more. ______________________________________ Blog: http://www.cellarandtable.com | |||

Is this the LCBO response to Tim Hudak?  | |||

Having had my wallet cleaned out through lots of other wine purchases recently, I limited myself to just 6 x 2008 Ramey Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from this release. | |||

| Member |
i would tend to agree but if you are going to drop hundreds of dollars on a bottle of wine it might be considered to due diligence to try before you buy. | |||
|
| Member |
I ate (or drank) my own words...went earlier today to try them out. Seems to be a hit, there was quite a crowd around the tasting bar. | |||
|
| Member |
They added some '07 haut brion red and '06 white, some '06 Palmer, '98 lynch bages, '08 Margaux, '06 Yquem and '05 ducru when I was there. | |||
|
| Member |
I believe that was all there yesterday. I just couldn't remember everything in the cornucopia of riches on the Enomatic. Regardless, it's a great treat! ______________________________________ Blog: http://www.cellarandtable.com | |||

Crazy. Way to marginalize everyone that lives outside of TO. Also, I can understand why they put wines on the tasting bar that are available, but it seems to me that many of these aren't available. I wonder why they would put them out? EDIT: on second thought, I'm not sure I would want to run up a $50 tab trying measly 1/2oz pours where I can barely get a read on the wines. | |||

I have to agree with you Chris...a 1/2 oz pour where I can't get more than 1, maybe 2, good sips isn't worth it for me. It's a great idea though, if it were in town I would definetly go check it out. Thanks for the heads up Fut! | |||
