“Mission Hill has applied for listings at the LCBO – a very good client – for a wide range of their products, and has only been given them for a selected few. Since the LCBO does not wish to carry Mission Hill’s other wines, but there are interested consumers, why can't the winery sell to these customers direct? It makes sense in a free market economy.“

I’m all for a free economy when it comes to wine shipping but realistically the government needs to get its act together, create a system that would help regulate nationwide shipping even if it means liquor board prices shipped directly to the out-of-province consumer.

Here’s another good link about the Mission Hill "slap on the wrist:”
