Just in time for Father’s Day, the LCBO finally eased their restrictions yesterday, announcing that as of June 15th we could legally start shipping mixed cases from consignment! This is one of the most significant changes to LCBO rules in decades, and while the new rules do not include restaurants, we’re ready to deliver some outstanding new options to all our consumers!

This is brand new, so how we go forward with this will be an evolving program, but for the moment we’ve put together 5 pre-mixed sampler packs to get things started, and will be offering some new options each week. Since this takes a bit more time and people-power to receive the cases, mix, and repack them into new boxes, plus include some nice tasting notes, we’re going to need an extra day to do the work. The the deadline to order for next Friday delivery is Tuesday June 16th at noon.

Here’s our first 5 mixed packs from Lifford Wine! Feel free to send me any questions you have about the wines, or if you’re looking for recommendations. There is no ordering function on the Lifford website for mixed cases yet, so the best way to order is to reach out on this Contact page and we’ll get you set up! No substitutions or single bottles, we’re just trying to streamline this exciting new process!

And I still have a few mixed cases of Thomas Bachelder’s ‘Les Villages’ series remaining! Each sixpack includies 2 Chardonnay, 2 Gamay, and 2 Pinot Noir for $185.70. Click here for more info in my recent Instagram post.
