Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

Well, notwithstanding my explanation - that served only to allay specific concerns over some "cloudiness" or
"flakes floating" - yes there certainly is a problem with storage and handling at many LCBO stores which we are, indeed, aware of. TO give them the benefit of the doubt they (the LCBO at large) simply aren't - understandably - really set up to handle a lot of small batch, unpasteurized, etc. products so ... the problems pretty much centre themselves around these more delicate products.
We have, in fact, had products that simply weren't even purchased to begin with - i.e. submitted but not accepted - due to handling potential concerns.
Fortunately someone like Creemore (after all they're "just up the street") is close enough and well on top of things to make sure their stock is all right all the time -- something I am sure must have been part of some big discussion at the outset.
I still hope you will continue to enjoy a moderately chilled XO from time to time ... in a snifter glass.
Cheers, Paul
