Hidden VINTAGES Markdowns
It started on July 8. Unfortunately the LCBO did not provide the public with the huge list of 270+ items (Classics & Vintages) being discounted by 20%. When I searched two discounted items only the regular price appeared on the LCBO website. You have to actually go to the LCBO store and see if a RED hand-written discount price appears on the display bin tag at that store.
These MARK-DOWN discounts were only at Flagship store #14
at Bloor West & Royal York
As of JULY 23 all remaining 265 Vintages releases were reduced another 10% to a 30% discount.
On September 16 I spotted bottles of a favourite Niagara Cabernet Franc on sale since July at Store 149. It suddenly disappeared. Fortunately it is now in the September 26 release & you can buy more. It is a bargain at $24.95 so do not miss it this time.

A Classic RECOMMENDED Beajolais
Mommessin Mary & Thomas Bachelder Beaujolais-Lantignié '23
Fresh, Bright, Raspberry-Plum *** (91-points)
$24.95 - August 29 Vintages #48377
This one-of-a-kind collaboration wine from Mommessin hits the spot. Bright medium purple colour with an attractive, bright, fresh, ripe, raspberry-plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, gently juicy, ripe, plum-crancherry flavours with a lingering, nicely textured, lifted, minerally finish. It is the first Beaujolais-Lantignié DOC I have tasted and a genuine winner at $24.95. This ready-to-drink distinguished effort from Thomas and Mary Bachelder has13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar.
