This was my last stop before heading back to the US Of A. So I found out about this thing called ice wine while I was in Canada. When driving through Niagara lake, I saw a sign, but it looked to sketch so I didn't end up going. Fast forward, I talked to some locals and they told me to get some from LCBO while I was here.
I stayed at Hilton Niagara Falls , drank 2 bottles in one night and had to get more before heading back. It was a must. I had fallen in love. Well, I had gotten a few different ones from lake view and they were mighty delicious. I went to the one Ferry street, but they were all out of the Vidal grape wines. I had a whole lesson on different types while at the ferry street.
Long story short, while at this store, not only did I grab 4 more Vidal's..... I grabbed 2 bourbon ice wines as well. I mean $20 cad was nothing in usd. The dollar was strong while I visited.
Another lesson I got while at LCBO was how this place was ran by the people. It was very interesting.
After visiting Canada, I am GRATEFUL for the price of alcohol back home. All my American and Mexican liquor was so cheap!!!! I felt so rich in Canada and I was so shocked to see skyrocketing prices for a simple bottle of Smirnoff vodka. It was insane. Hennessy? More like henny who!!!!?!?! The prices for Hennessy was mind boggling. read more
