Todd,

At the prices the LCBO will be selling the 2009 Vintage Ports, you can certainly fly down to CA, make your purchase, have a nice dinner, spend a night in a hotel and fly back the next day and still save money. Getting your wine across the border may be the challenge. But what are good friends for? :oops:

Frederick,

Do you have any idea what the 2009 Taylor/Fonseca/Croft will sell for in Canada?

at LCBO they sell Fonseca/Taylor for 135$, very similar to the price they've sold it for the 97/2000/2003

Croft is at 125$

They offer Double Magnums this year!!
