I'll try to check this at least once a month, on any day I happen to get around to it...

Sep 1 2010 - While reading all the stuff that LCBO writes about how well they support Ontario wine (using your money to tell you about it), consider this fact: since the August 4th 2009 check of this channel, I have found only 2 Ontario wines available through LCBO Vintages Online. The Vintages people should get fat bonuses for ensuring that nobody anywhere in the world can accuse them of favouring the home team (also see the Classics Catalogue).
