Victoria Day & Absinthe ~ Fireworks for the mind
DID YOU KNOW that New Orlean's
popular locally-distilled Herbsaint liqueur supposedly inspired Jerry Lee Lewis to write “Great Balls of Fire” and that, when it comes to fireworks, the folks in the Ukraine had it absolutely right. They named a town after the region’s most prolific bush wormwood star or CHERNOBLY

PRESS ACCESS DENIED BY LCBO
On February 21, the LCBO denied press access to FOUR upcoming Vintages preview tastings along with the monthly LCBO new wine/spirits previews. As I am dedicated to continue bringing readers as many reviews as possible, I have created NEW VINTAGE ASSESSMENTS REPORT that enables you to see ALL ITEMS RELEASED - what was tasted plus the previous reviews for all the items NOT TASTED.
The LCBO now limits what can be tasted!
 Not only that, the LCBO has terminated all three windows to taste all items being released. Here is a sample of the previous May 11 report with 64 new reviews along with all 46 previous release reviews.
