I do believe we're getting these into Alberta soon. If not in a gift pack, then just the bottles.

I've offered $20 for the 2 glasses and cardboard box, saying that's a fair price, and my kid would love the box as a fort for his toy soldiers :wink:

If I were a certain type of person (which I'm not), I'd be calling real estate companies and car dealers saying I was interested in buying a condo or a new car. I'd leave the contact number in the ad as a callback number.

Strange way they've handled the whole process. They should have treated this the same as the Bordeaux futures, which is incredibly smooth

I've been saying for a long time that beer should be treated like what Vintages does with wine and spirits.

That would require a whole new mindset at the LCBO.........think of the years this would take to come to fruition!!
