Time for an update - We tried this Stave and Steel Cab tonight. This one is Bourbon Barrel aged.
Extremely smooth, rich, well balanced with a nice finish.
$19.95 at the LCBO

What’s that thing on top of the bottle, that looks like an ill fitting condom?

I’m guessing it’s some kind of aerator.

We have a Vinturi that we used to use all the time and thought it was great. Funny, but I haven’t even thought about it in ages. I’m sure it’s around here somewhere.

They’re neat little gadgets, but I guess we’ve moved on. Wine tastes great with or without.

New one for us tonight was fantastic! Very full bodied & smooth. Nice hints of oak. $3 off right now as well.

Have had a couple bottles of this lately as Longo's here had them on sale for $15 bucks or so.
Decent for the price - the bottles emptied quickly so that means it's good right?   ;D

Was into my local Sobeys today they had McManus Cab Sav on for 18.95 ($3.00 off regular NB Liquor pricing )  :)
Good value if you like a big, rich California style cab.

That's one of our favorites as well, great price at $3 off. That one runs at $19.95 here at the LCBO, while their Merlot is $21.95. I usually grab a couple bottles when they're $2 off.

We don't get their Merlot here but their Petit Syrah is very good too.

Thanks, I've never bothered to browse wine at the grocery store very much.  They add tax at the checkout, right? So maybe it's pretty close on price since ANBL is "all in"?
