    4/4/2022 12:28:00 AM - deBare: NL is in your backyard: Maple Ridge, Port Moody, Langley, etc--and offer free delivery with orders of CAD 199. Do a search. During our recent stay in YVR, we ordered 1 case from EW and almost 9 (!) from NL. Their bargoons are limited and come and go, but they're worth watching. They give and take away discounts and sometimes beat the LDB (and even best US price) by a good margin on identical items; I'm still learning how they can do that. Just now, their sale selection seems limited, but that can change. Share comments, if any, once you find them.

My only option is to phone. Given your location, I assume that you're familiar with Neighbourhood Liquor (NL) whose online ordering is available here. Do you shop there?

    9/12/2013 6:11:00 PM - Thanks imissjerry - I've added my response to your original 2008 tasting note. As I explained there, neither the Second Blend or 2010 vintages lived up to the billing from WS. Either the shipment to Canada somehow spoiled, or there was something off with these wines. Everything we bought we returned after several attempts at tasting these other vintages.

    8/28/2013 11:03:00 PM - You hopefully taste some great BC wines - sounds like a fantastic gig! We look forward to you unveiling your cellar.
