I think that there was a St. Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:06:25 GMT Michael Dunn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1544 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1544 Okay, the cheapest I see is Dorlan VS, which is 50% more than the brandy, and seems rare indeed - one store in Cambridge; nothing in KW or London.

I've bought Duff Gordon Brandy de Jerez a couple of times. Not bad.

I was in the Sarnia Winners on Thanksgiving weekend and they had 3 products. Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:23:09 GMT Michael Dunn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1540 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1540 Went into a "Winners" store for the first time today. What do they have? Boxes of four Riedel glasses for $30! Doubtless their lowest-end stuff, but still a Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:26:11 GMT Michael Dunn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1539 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1539 http://lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/details.do?language=EN&itemNumber=18499 I can definitely recommend this at $10!

A wine worth tasting and costing less than $10 a bottle. What's not to like? I understand that Fuzion doesn't meet you criteria, but I for Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:05:50 GMT Michael Dunn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1537 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1537 I just recently had a much better value in cheap whites: http://lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/details.do?language=EN&itemNumber=614271 Gray Fox Chard - $7.95.

The trick would be to discover what drives the feeding frenzy on these wines. If ever a wine didn't deserve it, this was it.

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. I guess the Gewürz is the strongest component, tempered by the other two grapes. A bit off-dry, good body, quintessentially Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:10:42 GMT richard@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1533 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1533 ...

I picked the red as my wine of the week last week and will be adding the white shortly (http://tfo-wow.blogspot.com/) Regards, Richard Sun, 07 Jun 2009 18:57:28 GMT Michael Dunn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1532 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcbo/message/1532 Anyone tried Pelham's "Sibling Rivalry"? (on the GL) They look really interesting. The red's a "Meritage", and the white is Ries/Gewurz/Chard IIRC. Michael
