Hi Bacchus,

As former Oscars host Billy Crystal observed: “Nothing can take the sting off the world's economic problems like watching millionaires present each other golden statues.”

And nothing can take the sting off indulgent acceptance speeches like sipping great wine as we watch the 2016 Academy Awards next Sunday.

Meanwhile, this Saturday's LCBO Vintages Release has lots of award-winning wines to pair with movie snacks.

Here's the complete list of wines that the LCBO stores closest to you currently have in stock. This gets updated tomorrow.

Now you can create your custom shopping list.

Cheers,
