My dear friend and I met up in Ajax on Saturday. It's midway between our homes in Peterborough and Markham, respectively.
We were at the box stores, saw this LCBO, and walked in. I had a rough week last week. I ended up soothing my frustration consuming a few alcoholic drinks on Thursday night. I wanted more! I wanted to check out the latest new flavour, watermelon, from Cottage Springs vodka coolers.
I thought that I didn't need a basket. I found my watermelon vodka coolers and grabbed a couple of cans. I then found Georgian Bay smashed tea and vodka smash cans, and picked up a couple.
At the back of the store, a cheerful woman was dishing out samples of cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. She asked how I was. I said that I felt like a clown juggling cans of cooler, which made her laugh.
My friend is a keeper. She went looking for a couple of baskets for us. She saved the day and my arms when I loaded all my cans into one of them.
I sampled the cabernet sauvignon first. It was so good. It had hints of blackcurrant (love!) and blackberries. Both my friend and I sampled the chardonnay. It was light and crisp. As much as I loved both, I went with my first love, the cab, and grabbed a carton, which is recyclable.
I then wanted to see if I could get sangria in a can. A helpful customer overheard me and pointed out the cans for me. Nice! I got the white sangria.
I swiped my Air Miles card and paid for my goods with my debit card. I was so happy with my purchases. I got everything in a trusty brown paper bag and we both walked out with our goodies.
I like this store. I'd come back here again for more alcoholic beverages.
