    2009 merlot from a BC winery, it was meh.

    Then I finished with a Bombay Sapphire and sprite, which was quite nice. The BC liquor board stopped carrying Plymouth Gin, which makes me very sad I remarked to the lady behind the counter that they were killing me by always discontinuing the really good stuff. She said, "Well not really, it's based on sales," implying that because everybody buys something it must be good. I replied offhandedly, "Yeah, but everybody buys crap, that's the problem." She gave me the evil eye.

    It's true though; why else would Bacardi be so popular? That crap is barely fit for peeling paint.

    A Negroni, outdoors after a day at the beach--just delicious.

    Geez, I am glad I can buy whatever I want when I want out here. If I had to deal with a Liquor Board I would want to Water Board them.

    Hmm, I was looking for Plymouth Gin in our local State run store this past weekend without success. I bought Beefeater 24 instead, which was quite nice.

    Just checked on the Liquor Board website and they show 7 bottles of Plymouth in stock, maybe I just didn't look hard enough.
    Cheers!

    This whole state run liquor thing has me intrigued. So how the heck does this work? The state sells it at cost or they profit from people who drink? How do your prices compare to say this site out here?:

    In Ontario, they profit. Big time. The money goes to (mostly) the healthcare system. Next to Walmart, these guys have the biggest liquor purchasing power in the world.
    Let's compare (LCBO is CAD):
    Patron Silver tequila (750): BevMO = 43.98; LCBO = 79.95
    Maker's Mark (750): BevMO = 23.99; LCBO = 37.95
    Glenfiddich Single Malt 15 year (750): BevMO = 43.99; LCBO = 65.25
