What's the deal with wine here? I've figured out that the LCBO is owned and operated by the Province of Ontario. Certain US states have a similar deal; when I lived in Philadelphia, we bought wine or liquor at a "state store". Are liquor sales controlled by the province throughout Canada, or do different provinces have different liquor laws? I assume the latter. More importantly, are all LCBOs the same?

I know Canadians are beer-lovers, but stereotypes aside, what do people do when they want to drink a nice bottle of wine? We're also trying different Canadian beers, so if you have recommendations, send them in. Right now we're drinking Export (I prefer it to Can...

ReplyDeleteWow... you're getting full force spam lately.
ReplyDeleteTurning off anonymous doesn't work. The spam comes as registered users as well.
ReplyDeleteI think it always goes on the latest post though. Maybe you could make a decoy spam collector post each time you make a real post.
Make it stop!!!! Too much spam!

Whichever, I'm giddy with glee, pour les deux!
Merci, Andy!

ReplyDeleteI dunno, Red-girl seems so appropriate for some reason. ;)
Especially because Red is the colour of Liberals up here... Funny our socialists (NDP) took orange.

ReplyDeleteYeah, pink would have been more appropriate.
What COULD that be in that picture?
ReplyDeleteI know what this is ... this is an espresso machine.
No, no, wait. It's a a snow cone maker.
Is it a water heater?

ReplyDeleteG, sometimes you confuse the hell outta me. :)
Ray?

Sure. Say Ray with a fake Texas accent, and it comes out "Rye". At least it does on Dallas.
