Wine 101 cont'd...

About once a month an LCBO glossy is delivered with my daily Globe & Mail. They are well done and I believe their heart is the right place bringing readers tips on how to select a wine for the right meal or occasion and providing related recipes. And there's no 'buts' when I say that...

I've listed the wines from the latest issue - WINE 101: A Practical Guide to the World of Wine, received Feb 9th - with the Ontario Sale price and a US price where I could find one. Then I Googled for a rating (a rating in brackets is for a previous vintage). The vintage shown is from the bottle image in the glossy, however, stock on shelves at each Outlet can vary at times. I couldn't find them all... but most.
