No Romanée-Conti right now but Vintages in Ontario has most of the other DRC wines from the excellent 2005 vintage if anyone cares to burn a rather large hole in their savings account: http://www.vintages.com/frame_result...=romanee+conti

Yes, but have you checked which cities actually have inventory in stock for those wines ? Ahhah. Hmhmm.

In fact someone (not me, alas, I couldn't afford it) seems to have done a run on virtually all the top-end '05 red burgundies in Ontario. This sort of systematic pillaging goes on all the time at both the SAQ and the LCBO. Maybe I'm paranoid but I imagine it's the same dozen or so people who drive round ON and QC buying up all the stocks of that sort of stuff the instant it's listed.

Are we really having this conversation on FT??

Why are you not all members of NEXUS? Enjoy talking to summer students out to take down their first 'big score'? I don't

As for wine, Alberta is the best place in Canada to bring wine in. Residents can import 4 times a year up to 40L of wine. There is only GST and a flat rate per bottle to pay. There is no ad valorem 'duty' or tax to be paid other then GST.
