LCBO

"That LCBO is dope."
"Rideau and King Edward for sure, it's the Ottawa flagship."
"Not only do they have the best selection of craft beers but the beer selection is also in a walk in fridge."
"Eastgate LCBO is or was the very best for craft beer."
"Dundurn is the best for craft and unique stuff beyond Ontario."
"Summerhill has a free beer sampling bar of 3-4 different beers that are usually changed up weekly."
"Rideau Vintages is your best bet for in-store selection."
"Keep an eye on the website....a lot of stuff come in limited qty's so they may only get allocated to a few stores or online only."
"LCBO has a better selection of rums than the SAQ."
"Most $15-17 red wines from the lcbo tend to be in this category. Enjoy."

"Malivoire Gamay"
"Malivoire gamay - lovely soft mid bodied local wine from Niagara."
"Try Malivoire's Gamay or some Beaujolais from France. They tend to be lighter than a lot of Cab Sauv and I've found them to be a good gateway wine for people who don't normally drink/like red."
