Over the last 3 years Food and Drink has become the only publication from LCBO that is at all supportive of Ontario wines. Yet in the Winter 2010 F&D, on Page 31 there is "What's Fresh for brunch" "Celebrating the freshest possible Ontario-grown ingredients, this menu shines a spotlight on all things local." Nice touch when the three wines they reccommend to go with them are all imported... There is a serious disconnect here somewhere! Do they also use "The Force" when they drive to work?
