I used the Oxford Wine Atlas to try and pinpoint the source, but suppose I did not have the 'clear' knowledge of the location of Zeltingen ;).<br /><br />I'm glad you guys added a great and reasonably priced riesling to the list!Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111980039963661949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318791915665925752.post-73828711379696984532009-05-03T09:33:00.000-07:002009-05-03T09:33:00.000-07:00Hi

There is no logic to the duty markups, some being 100%, some 50%, some (very few) 30% over US prices.<BR/><BR/>Australian wine does seem to be priced better here. Not so sure about the US stuff, although I remember the LCBO really sucking for US wine - not sure about the SAQ.<BR/><BR/>It seems unreasonable to have such a crazy 'sin' tax in BC. People who legitimately are into wine and aren't sinning, over-drinking, or doing stupid things, end up paying HUGE amounts of tax out of their income just to support their hobby. Lame I say, lame.Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111980039963661949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318791915665925752.post-5472421078334123642008-04-22T07:00:00.000-07:002008-04-22T07:00:00.000-07:00The 2005 is $26 here in Quebec.

Not so much for other regions (I frequently pick up a bottle from the US or Australia).Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.com
