Huyghe Floris Passionfruit Availability ???

Does anyone know if this is available either thru LCBO or consignment ?

A few years ago I bought a case (might've been from Esprit) not sure.

I'm looking to buy another case for the summer.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Dave

Re: an event I'd like to see

Hey Greg: That's a really good idea. We had a tasting at my basement bar with beer we bought at Premier, and chocolate that friends brought back from Belgium, and it worked very well.
