Have I told you guys that Karen Kurdyak has been sharing her insider's tips on the best values in the bi-weekly Vintages releases on the CheapEats blogs?
Karen is a long-time CheapEats contributor and is consulting with the LCBO. I've been following her wine emails for a couple of years now. (Though I've never been able to get her to play the three-for-$20 game with me. ) She always makes great recommendations without ever sacrificing quality.
If you haven't checked out her tasting notes and recommendations before, tomorrow's release is looking pretty good. Well, for red drinkers anyway.
Check out the Vintages Value Lists on the CheapEats Toronto blog or the CheapEats Ottawa blog depending on your inclination.

Hey guys,
As I wrestle with what Vox will be for me, I am leaning more and more to providing a consolodated view of my blogging here, here and elsewhere.
Like others, I would continue to do Vox-specific posts and the QotDs (when they aren't too invasive), but the rest would primarily be an intro with a link to the full post on unsweetened.ca or one of the CheapEats blogs. For example:

The next most comment question is usually a varient of:
