Dear Bacchus, January 31, 2014

Ginger and Fred, Beyonce and Jay-Z ... pick your favourite duo as we've gone live with the wine equivalent today ....

Our team has worked hard to be the first Canadian wine site to launch real-time inventory updates, wine reviews and custom shopping lists for ...

                   Wines in Both > LCBO and SAQ

Okay, so it's not exactly Bradjalina, but now you can find out which stores closest to you have your favourite wines in the country's largest liquor store chains, plus get reviews and scores from our team of 23 accredited sommeliers.

We were also first to offer this service in British Columbia, so please be kind and relieve the wine-shopping anxiety of your friends and family in these three provinces ...

Let them know that buying great wine is now a whole lot easier ;)

Speaking of that, tomorrow's LCBO Vintages Release is all about Australia, from robust shiraz and cabernet, to mouth-filling chardonnay and zesty riesling: great with Super Bowl snacks.

This shopping list shows the stock for each wine at your closest stores. You can also take a sneak peak at the Feb 15 wines.
 
In a new series of videos with Canadian Press, we're exploring different wines and pairings.

The first video to the lower left looks at icewine as a great match at the beginning of your meal, rather than the end. Stay warm this weekend!

Cheers,
Natalie
