{Wine} Tidings Reviews since March 2001
lfw reviews key- 
Gold trophy (90% domestic) 
Gold (80%) 
Silver (70%)
Bronze (60%) 
Merit (50%)... just because everyone likes numbers with their wine...
Commitment to Canadian wines on the part of Tidings seems to be slipping somewhat as of March 2008. Very sad indeed when Canadian support by this magazine falls dramatically below the support levels of LCBO Food and Drink (30.7% vs. 20.6% as of April 10).
