Lining up on a Saturday morning...
The LCBO had a major release a couple of weeks ago, with lots of powerhouse wines hitting the shelves. I lined up for 30 minutes on a cold Saturday morning just to get some '04 Ornellaia, '03 Alion and '05 Grand Veneur Les Origines CNDP. Too bad for me as all of the wines are still available for purchase in and around the GTA.
I was lucky enough to get a case of the '05 Donjon CNDP. The wine, which came in 3rd on Wine Spectator's top 100 wines of 2007, was probably the most sought after of the release. Apparently, some stores were only allocating one bottle per person.
I need to learn to ignore the hype of Vintages' releases. I'll probably end up saving a lot more money!
