Sorry, I meant the stores were putting out school supplies and stuff and that triggered the notion that Fall and school were right aroud the corner so there might be some advance info on Fall LC releases.

Unrelated, I see TBS had a big insert in Saturdays paper.

LCBO Fall Releases 2010

Was in a store today and they were putting out the back to school stuff. This prompted the question "Whats coming for the fall from the LC?" Any insights?

Finally got some in Hamilton although it looked like about 14 bottles on the shelf was their allotment. $12.95 a bottle if I remember. Still no online listing.

The number in the release catalogue is 113696 but when I put it in the LCBO website, it doesn't recognize it. Curious. So this Vina Esmeralda is from Miguel Torres in Spain and not Bodegas Esmeralda from Argentina? The number helps thanks. Although I may wait before I torture my local store with a ...

There is also a KB beer that appears to be a must not buy. I agree, go with the Coopers.

Tried it last nite and it is really smooth. They were just putting it out so I grabbed 2 sixes although it is sold in singles at $2.15 and 5.8% ABV. I was going to share with friends but I don't know about that unless I make another stop, only 1 store in my area has it.
