Nearly 70yrs she stood tall and strong as the flagship
The time has come & the doors are shut forever in what I call The Millennium Falcon of the LCBO. So many memories. Now we embark on a new mission and a new beginning with the same promise. To do it the best we know how. ✌🏻OUT

Meet Melchior. That’s what an 18L bottle of wine is named. Took 3 of us to lift this big boy and secure it. Customer is gonna need a crane to get it home🤣

Unicorn alert!
Legendary Argentinian Winemaker Alejandro Vigil from Catena Semillon is IMHO one of the best Semillon I have tried. Ltd qtd. if you spot it. Grab it.

This wk would’ve been the wk where I would be making my final selections on an initiative I started 7yrs ago. The Queens Quay tasting bar would captivate and get people’s attention world wide. An experience like no other. Sadly due to COVID we will shelf it until next yr🤞🏻
#LCBO
Dubbed baby Tignanello. A polished and refined wine that won’t be as expensive as TIG but carries the same elegance. It is also more approachable so while big brother sleeps in the cellar; we get to enjoy this beauty.
2016 is a superb quality vintage.

In the movie SIDEWAYS. Miles referred to Cabernet Franc as hollow, flabby & pointless. The irony was that his most precious possession “Cheval Blanc” is made from 55%Merlot (which he hated)45%Franc. This is the true potential of Cab Franc. Undeniably supreme😉 $1300CAD.

Caparzo has been a sure hit with just about everyone that comes across it. It is no surprise to me to see it ranked

in Wine Spectator’s top 100 of 2018. A textbook Brunello that is of good value at $49.95 cherry, leather, tobacco & slight herbal notes on the solid body

The OG. Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf Du Pape.
Aging potential? 50yrs. But how do you get there? I say open one now for your starting point of reference. Then one every 10yrs. 2028, 2038, 2048, 2058, 2068. Magical.
Although I’d be in my 90s by then🤣
From my mentor to legends of the game. Queens Quay had it all. It is the end of this chapter but a new one begins. From the customers to the employees, the trade and to everyone who has put so much into our new location. THANK YOU!
See you all Tomorrow!

If you were to find one it would be like finding a unicorn. Tenuta San Guido Le Difese is the 3rd wine of the legendary icon & if you thought 2015s were good. Wait until you try 2016 Bolgheri! 70%Cab 30%Sangiovese $34.95 EPIC🍷

It won’t be cheap but I’m pretty sure there’s not many or even none out there offering samples like these in the world. There’s only one Victor after all😎

signing off. I like to take this time to wish all of you a safe a merry Christmas. Thank you for all your support. I felt the love all year round from all my followers! Cheers!🍷🥃🍺

Isole e Olena is one of the most prominent producers in the Chianti region of Italy. It has been credited with helping revive the quality of Chianti in the 1970s, and its flagship wine – Cepparello – is one of the most famous wines falling under the Super Tuscan designation
#LCBO
Sassicaia’s younger sibling Le Difese. This will provide great insight as to what the 2018 vintage will offer. Great way to find out how much we’ll be investing in this vintage. EVERYTHING is pointing out to an incredible offering from this iconic Italian region. $37.95 BARGAIN!
Good heavens! 180 bottles sold in 3 days

better start their cars... like NOW!🤣
2015 wine of the year, 2016 💯pts. Therefore wine of the year! Widely compared to the legendary 1985 vintage. Although it is the 1984 that no one gave it its proper reverence IMHO. A legendary wine regardless of points. How do you judge a wine? “By its beauty”🍷
#LCBO
#Sassicaia
Possibly the best way to start anyone’s day. Also good during lunch and supper and perhaps just before going to bed🤣 Bollinger

is simply EPIC🥂🍾

The respectful, yet innovative wine-making philosophy of late, great Renato Ratti lives on today thanks to the passion and commitment of his son Pietro.

Oh my (profanity) God! 2nd wine this month I’ve tried from
@ClossonChase
and it’s ridiculously good! Without any effort hands down beat some of the Burgundy wines and other high end Pinot Noir I’ve tasted recently. From one of Ontario’s hidden gems... Prince Edward County
#LCBO
This Rosso can give some Brunello in the lower category a run for their money. I get it, same grape and all. But just quality🤷🏻♂️ I thought it was a bigger expression of some of the Rosso in the lower tear we see. It is $30 and it is a great wine. Check it out at
#LCBO
now. Cheers!
As good as Sassicaia is... the best part of the job is always meeting the people behind the label. Ladies and gentlemen... wine royalty, the princess of Tuscany, Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta👏🏻 and the wine of the year Sassicaia 2016!

Tip of the day:
Friend’s birthday dinner last night. I brought with me 2 bottles of wine. Corckage fee was $25ea. Cheapest bottle on menu was $55 and trust me; you don’t want it. I drank 2 for $50! Always call ahead and ask if they have corckage fee. So worth it
