Wine in Canada:
I've read a few comments about the price of decent wine in Canada. A program I listen to on CBC called House Wine reviews a different wine each week. Here are some of their recommendations:

Do any other BE denizens have decent wine picks or sources for good wine?

Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1998 is one of my faves for the occasional tipple.

Re: wine!
This is of course presently a purely academic discussion as one cannot buy a bottle of wine in Ontario today. Ridiculous!

I feel your pain on the wine front. I remember arriving in Mexico on election day in 2000. Not only couldn't you buy a bottle of booze but no alcohol sales in restaurants or bars either. Not a pleasant evening.

Re: wine!
Cancun was excellent. We enjoyed an excellent Christmas dinner overlooking the Caribbean without any combination of yam, pecans and cheese being present
Luckily I did bring back a bottle of duty free Stoli so that will have to suffice until noon tomorrow when I believe the LCBO may briefly re-open.
Pint this week?

Re: wine!
Christmas day wine consumption was a disappointing Chilean Cabernet/Shiraz, today at my Brother and Mother-in-laws was a more pallatable Italian Cabernet. I had bought my father a rather nice $50 bottle of Shiraz to drink during his visit, but since he caught H1N1 at an inconvenient time, my folks ended up not visiting us this Christmas. I suspect it wont last until whenever they next do visit.......
Our easy drinking wine of choce at the moment is this:
Imported and distributed, in NL at least, by a friend of another B-i-L who is ridiculously young to be having fun as a wine importer.

I have a soft spot for a nearby vinyard. They have a Port ($20 for the 08 but grab a 1996 if you can find it)
but I really like Their Vidal Icewine. Its quite sweet, I'd say its a nice after dinner sipper.
Won't break the bank at $25 either. I recommend the 07.
