As you may have inferred by my choices in wine, I don't like to pay much more than $20 for a bottle of wine. But, occasionally it is nice to spoil oneself. If there is a good enough deal, I would even spend up to $80. I have been going through the LCBO Vintages Clearance list and have found some very good deals. Here are my picks for best value.
563395 Chateau Rieussec 2006 was $52 is now $39 and is probably the most underrated wine of the list. (I've tried it, it's great)
For the big spenders this wine has a 94-96 rating from Robert Parker:
565630 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2006 was $189 is now $142.95
If you want an idea of the vintage (2006) of Bordeaux without spending big money:
198978 Chateau Moulinat 2006 was $22.95 is now $18.95
57737 Spy Valley Chardonnay 2008 from New Zealand was $16.30 now $12.95
199943 Yealands Estate Pinot Noir 2008 also from New Zealand was $20.95 now $16.95 and when it was released the LCBO panel raved about it. (I tried it, and liked it)
178814 Legends Estate Riesling Reserve 2003 from Ontario was $23.75 now 15.95 If you have never tried a good riesling from Ontario now is a good time to try one.
687699 NK'MIP Cellars Chardonnay 2007 from British Columbia was $23.95 now $17.95
