I was in the Sarnia Winners on Thanksgiving weekend and they had 3 products.

A wine worth tasting and costing less than $10 a bottle. What's not to like?

I think I posted my previous negative feelings about the red & rosé. Just opened the white, and Wed, 01 Jul 2009 23:14:00 GMT Michael Dunn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1534 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1534 I'm quite enjoying the white.
