Fast, friendly and a clean and organized store this LCBO is…read more.. I was in and out so quick I didn't really get a chance to look around. Another photo here shows it in a strip mall but really it's a stand alone building in the north side of the mall with plenty of parking on the side. There was a beggar just outside asking for change... I'm not sure if it's a good place to be asking for money considering what goes on inside. (makes it sketch).

I can't tell you how excited I was to walk down my street to try out a new local establishment!…read more And this place didn't disappoint! Chalk board menu, beer and wine list were fantastic. Prices were right on, and the service was on point. The food was tapas style, small plates for sharing. We tried the pork tacos, lamb three cheese flatbread, and duck wings. Everything was so tasty, and packed with flavours. I was really impressed. Can't wait to go back.

The last time I came by it was lunchtime and we didn't do more than glance here. This time I spent a little more time. It's a small store in the Eatery. Pretty cool. Some interesting sounding wines. Some sales. Not sure you are allowed to drink it in the courtyard once you buy it. I don't know if this is a chain or not. But it was A-OK

I wandered into Archives Wine and Spirit Merchants last weekend while strolling on James Street in…read moredowntown St. Catharines, Ontario. What a find! This is an eclectic new wine tasting bar and bottle shop that showcases local wines (and some other spirits), mainly from the Niagara wine region. The very personable and knowledgeable owner, Robbie, helped me choose some really special wines, some of which cannot be purchased anywhere else. He told me he often has tasting events with the actual wine makers. He specializes in small local wineries that aren't able to sell in the large government operated LCBO stores. He sells wine by the glass and if you want to buy a bottle and have a glass there, he will recork it with a special gas that preserves the rest of the bottle for later. He also has some specialty food items from local producers. He has indoor and sometimes patio seating. I'll definitely be back to stock up on some wonderful wines, and to try a few glasses of something new. He also has a website, myarchives.ca, if you want delivery. I highly recommend this place!

Call BEFORE driving out of your way here!…read more I had this place on a cycling route and visited on a random Saturday, later in the afternoon. Since my friend was feeling tired, we ended up driving here instead of cycling. And...it was CLOSED. Sign on the door said the masquerade was postponed/relocated. So I'm not sure if they were supposed to have a social there and just cancelled it. It was a disappointment, so I'd recommend you make sure it's open before heading out.
