Hi Bacchus,

We're California bound this weekend at the LCBO ... even if you can't escape to the sunshine state, you can have it in your glass with Saturday's LCBO Vintages Release.

There's also a strong selection of big red wines from the southwest of France. Here's your shopping list to see which wines are available in your closest LCBO stores.

Cheers,
