Insider’s Discount of the Week

Think Riesling As you all know, I love the vivaciousness of a chilled glass of Riesling. It’s a classic palate-pick-me-up and goes well with almost any appetizer. One of the tastiest values at the LCBO is a great New Zealand Riesling - the delicious **+ Matua 2005 Marlborough Riesling (G27078). I bought a case at $15.95 on the general list. Now it's only $10.95 a bottle because it didn't make its LCBO minimum sales quota. Its extremely tasty, gently honeyed, dryish, harmonious, grapefruit-melon-lime flavours will shine all summer long.

Buyer's Warning:
The following is a quote from a reader regarding the 2006 vintage, "... it was distinctly tart and green - overall, very average and, I assume, inferior to the 2005."
