A MAY MILESTONE

Raise a glass as we celebrate our 800 th issue!

Did you know this magazine started out back in the mid-1980s as a monthly circular printed on a single sheet of paper? Since then, the LCBO publications and design teams that produce it have evolved the content from a humble list of product names and prices to its current format, promoting each New Release Collection with colourful feature stories focused on regions, grapes, producers, and hosting solutions, plus robust tasting notes and other details for each of the 100+ wines we introduce every two weeks. Our most recent update is the addition

of a convenient digital edition (see opposite page). If you prefer a paper copy, you can pick one up in any of the 240 LCBO stores that carry the New Release Collection. Visit LCBO.com and select “Vintages” in the store search filters to find a location. Here are two wines from this release perfect for toasting our milestone or any spring occasion: a fine sparkler from favourite local crafter Flat Rock Cellars (page 35) and an elegant Champagne from venerable 166-year- old producer Pommery (page 35).

Cheers!
