RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: Liquor Control Board of Ontario: Cry Me A River! Too Little Too Late

Rah! Rah! Rah!

The LCBO has boldly gone where no man would go! No not to the moon but threatening to remove all wines produced in the United States from its shelves then backing off and not implementing its threat.

Buy Ontario wines! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Seems they suddenly, as politically directed, truly wish to promote Ontario wines. Before the Trumpian Tariff War I walked into one major LCBO store Vintages Section and I see a whopping 4 wines from British Columbia and none from Quebec or Nova Scotia. Perhaps over 100 from California. And the LCBO pays homage to its scanty collection of Niagara wines leaving Prince Edward County and Lake Erie North Shore wines in the dark. All this despite lofty statements in its Vintages catalogues about promoting Ontario wines.

Cry me a river.
