RKS 2025 Wine: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario Embarrasses Itself Yet Again

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) everyone’s favourite liquor monopoly has soiled itself yet again. It mouths a rah rah rah for Ontario wines but rarely delivers except for the wines of Niagara but even there….

In the 13September2025 Vintages Release catalogue the cover of the catalogue trumpets “We’re All In On Ontario”. The LCBO is so into Ontario wines it has completely forgotten, as usual, any serious inclusion of the wines of Lake Erie North Shore (LENS) and Prince Edward County (PEC) both wines producing areas in the province of Ontario.

And what is the love affair with all these Le Clos Jordanne wines in the catalogue?

Time to defund the LCBO! LENS and PEC wines matter!
