Arthur Sellers Bulletin Archive
Dear Arthur’s Cellar Wine Club Member:
The following wines are currently available at LCBO.com. The first three can be purchased by the bottle, the remaining seven only in six-bottle cases. The quantities shown are at the time of writing. The details of each wine will be found at LCBO.com (except for the two Palon wines - not posted yet - so I have included the datils here). Two additional Palon beauties, the Vacqueyras Rouge and Gigondas Rouge should be posted any day. I’ll let you know when they are.
Per usual, I’d be happy to order for you; just send me a note to tell me what you would like.
We have been promised by the LCBO that all these wines will eventually be sold by the bottle. However, the LCBO’s process of converting from by-the-case sales to by-the-bottle sales is a random and glacial one. To add to the merriment, when new stock of an exisiting wine arrives, it is automatically sold by-the case, even if it was previously sold by-the-bottle. The whole process is in the throes of severe growing pains; but, when it works, customers seem to really like it. Much patience is required.
