The Bar Towel

It's because they have such a limited supply. The guy I talked to said he was holding it back because he knew if it went on shelves it would sell out in a day and he wanted to save it for people who actually asked for it and thus would be more likely to appreciate it.

The Summerhill LCBO has a sampling bar, but I believe each sample costs some amount of money. And only certain products are available for sampling. I overheard someone sampling a wine at Queens Quay last week. It cost her 50 cents. --- When I was getting my Elysian they hadn't set up the computers ...

West 50 has 100+ taps to pick from: http://www.hiprestaurants.com/west50.html but I don't think they do much in the ...

Is this a good candidate for cellaring?
