I'm still afraid to open the Ghosttown or VSOP I have sitting in the fridge.[/quote] I would stay well away from the Ghosttown. Bought three: first two were straight drain pours (I guess I thought a second crack would be better - oh so very wrong). Not sure what's going to happen with numero 3... Ju...

Re: LCBO website
[quote="JerCraigs"][quote="munrets"] I believe it answers your question perfectly. You asked what sort of interaction the LCBO has with the Government that another distribution channel would not: paying a large dividend to the Government is unique. As you put it yourself, a priva...

Re: LCBO website
[quote="JerCraigs"][quote="munrets"] The LCBO, to use its own terminology, is an agency of the provincial Government. It returned $1.55 billion back to the Province's coffers last year, above and beyond tax revenue. As far as I know, this is unlike any other distribution channel ...

Re: LCBO website
[quote="JerCraigs"][quote="munrets"]With all due respect, suggesting that the LCBO (or any other Crown Corporation, for that matter) does not consume some amount of tax dollars is naive. By no means am I suggesting that this is how it is kept afloat - I'm well aware of its profit...

Re: LCBO website
[quote="ErkLR"][quote="munrets"]But this is getting way too complicated. My original point in all of this is that there is a lack in integrity in how the LCBO does business, and the online system is a great example of this.[/quote] If not being able to keep a near-perfect and rea...

Re: LCBO website

Re: LCBO website
[quote]There are valid criticisms to be made of the LCBO, but you're over-stepping here. I've had this exact problem with Canadian Tire and Chapters. They only update their stock once per day and it's often inaccurate.[/quote] I realize that this commentary comes off pretty heavy-handed, but it's wo...

LCBO website
I realize that there are a number of "issues" that people have with the way in which the LCBO conducts its business. I am personally not a fan and side with Konrad Ejbich's use of the term KGBO. Nonetheless, there is one thing that I cannot understand: how can such a large entity run such ...

FT: Cantillon Cuvée St-Gilloise
Bought this a while ago at Zyn in Calgary (which is incredible with a great staff) but have realized that I'm just not likely enjoy it (i.e. have tried some sour stuff and they've not been to my liking). So instead of cracking it I thought there might be someone out there who would appreciate it and...
