By now, most are aware that the Ontario government plans to expand the sale of wine, like beer, to Ontario supermarkets. While Premier Kathleen Wynne’s comment that now Ontarians can soon buy wine with their cheese at the same time may be accurate,

One of the fascinating things about wine is that there is always something to discover, not the least of which are grapes that I had never heard of before.

At least, that’s the focus as this weekend brings us Valentine’s Day. It would be hard not to notice, given that merchants have hauled out the hearts and cupids and encourage us to express our love with a purchase of one kind or another.

As we turn the corner and begin the midwinter slide to Spring, in Northern Ontario we are keen to celebrate winter rather than bemoan the chill. In both Sault Ste. Marie and Barrie, the annual carnivals begin next Saturday, February 6. Check out Vin's picks for the best tastes of winter carnival, where ever you may be.

With the new year, the LCBO has begun an initiative of weekly Super Sales which run Thursday through to the following Wednesday and consist of five wines and four spirits. Whether this continues beyond the third of February remains to be seen.
