You may know this about me, I would choose every bottle just to try it ... after all, sommeliers need lots of practice!  Alas, I must whittle my list to the affordable.  You may notice that I do not choose many if any bottles much over $20.  I would rather get more bang for my buck.  But there are some bottles, no matter the price, that I need to experience ... hence MAROLO MILLA LIQUORE ALLA CAMOMILLA CON GRAPPA VINTAGES 211433, Price $64.95 on my short-list.  And then I usually confer with our LCBO Product Consultants as to their favourites from the release tasting - that usually adds a bottle or two to my list of "I need to have this!" wine.

As per usual, I have highlighted and "sharpied" my VINTAGES catalogue ...

YELLOW highlights what caught my eye.
➔ RED ARROW points to unique feature. 
* RED SHARPIE STAR selections are those most likely to make it into my bag.

here I go with markers in hand ...
