Maybe the SAQ Selection flagship stores might have a better International Wine (read: ridiculously expensive/fancy) selection though.

Also, you say that the pubs abound like Montreal strip joints – yet there is only ONE Brew pub? That’s just wrong.

Wine is like 3$ cheaper a bottle -- at least! And there's a much better selection of canadian wines!</p> I love the LCBO! Wine is like 3$ cheaper a bottle — at least!

I'm actually really surprised that you think the LCBO both has better selection and is cheaper than anything in Quebec though. That's not what Ontarians believe! But seriously, Mrs. Tiggywinkles it the awesomest store ever. There are multiple locations, too.</p> Glad you found some stuff you like about Ottawa!
