TORONT0 LIFE BLOG
Good to the Last Drop
After a two-year run, during which I have enjoyed being back in the role of weekly wine commentator, July 2 will be the last post of Lawrason on Wine at TorontoLife.com. The editors are presently re-evaluating the content of the website, but my work will happily continue monthly in the print edition of Toronto Life, and I am now neck-deep in tasting the entire LCBO general list and Vintages Essentials for the Toronto Life Eating and Drinking Guide (coming in October). As well, we are discussing an exciting new Web-based project scheduled for release this autumn. So, while this is my final blog post, it is by no means an end—just a pause.
