Great Vintage Wine for under $30 @ LCBO

Lots of french whites in this release. If you have never tried a dry white Bordeaux then this is your chance. These are blends that are often full of flavours. There are solid reds in the upper end of the price range, 2 from Australia and one from South Africa, which might be worth picking up even though you are undoubtedly thinking whites with the weather we are enjoying. You can always save them for later though. Remember, you have to think ahead!

* good value, very good wine, well worth picking up and drinking at this price
** highly recommended wine
