Good news!

After much effort and many hoops have been jumped through, the LCBO has given us a projected landing date that puts the outstanding wine order in Toronto in a couple of weeks. This means that it most orders will be ready for delivery in late July or early August (once policy-driven logistics are taken care of).

Please stay tuned. We’ll being contact you to arrange for delivery soon. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Orders placed this summer:

Please accept our sincerest apologies for the lengthy delay. Wait time for this latest club order has set records for longest ever. We’ve been in touch with the LCBO several times along the way, and the latest word is very encouraging: the wines are in Toronto, are in the queue for lab testing. They should be in our hands and subsequently in yours within the next 14 days (i.e. before the holidays!!).

When the LBCO releases the shipment, we’ll contact you and arrange for delivery.

Upcoming buying opportunities:

We’re now in the process of compiling orders for our next group buy, which we hope to submit early in the new year. Members wishing to order wines for arrival in the spring should be sure to express intent and make deposits via our online shop.

Wine shipments from Argentina have been affected by protests by farmers, arising from new export levies:

• Crunch time for Argentine agriculture [via BBC]
• Argentine farmers halt tax strike [via BBC]

Our hope is that this doesn’t affect the projected arrival of wine club orders to any appreciable extent, and we’ll keep you posted.
