Alberta Liquor Store Wine Reviews

I review and rate wines in Alberta liquor stores, including all of the major chains and private stores such as Calgary Co-op Wines & Spirits, Willow Park Wines, Kensington Wine Market, Liquor Direct, Liquor Depot, Sobey's Liquor, and others. I also review wines sold directly from Alberta wineries and other Canadian wine producers, and available via mail order.

You can search my ratings to find great wines in all price points and styles. Bookmark this page as your wine shopping list.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
