The book rates each wine on a five-star, value-for-money scale, provides a concise, no-nonsense description and suggests food pairings. And there is space to add your own notes after you’ve tried Rod’s suggestion.

No wine consumer in the LCBO will want to head to the store without this definitive guide. And the appeal of this guide goes beyond the LCBO—chances are you will find many of these wines in most wine stores in Canada. Take advantage of the good- to great-value wines available at reasonable prices, and try something new if you tend to buy the same wine time after time.

With updated information and carefully researched reviews, this book is the most comprehensive LCBO wine guide there is. Bottoms up!
