My favorite LCBO summer red wine? Doesn’t matter anymore – “Product Discontinued*” and I think the asterisk is there just to make me mad! A perfectly good inexpensive French wine available nevermore (my third Edgar Allan Poe reference in two years – good for me).
Well LCBO – I know how to play this game. I contacted my girl in the Vintages section and she hunted down 6 bottles from some warehouse in Ottawa – where presumably the bottles were stored next to the Ark of the Covenant.
So here’s the next problem. With this heat wave and the BBQ going strong I opened my first (of 6) precious bottles and now it’s gone because we drank it. Now I’m down to 5. And I know myself, soon I’ll be at 4. I don’t like where this is going. I can look for another great summer BBQ wine but that seems like a lot of work.
Anyone have a favorite summer BBQ wine for me? I need at least 6 bottles.

Misterio malbec, Argentina….about 9$…a bit dry, perhaps (too) sweet for some, cherry chocolate and a touch of smoke Great with BBQ.

What I really “need” for summer is a bottle or 2 of Gooseberry wine!
