The start of the SAQ strike completely blindsided me, I had nothing in reserve. For almost three month, I “survived” on beer and the generosity of friends and family who either anticipated the strike or walked through picket lines (something I wasn’t willing to do). It took me numerous tries simply to find a half-decent bottle of red from the grocery shelves (Oro, from Chile). We rapidly gave up on the whites.

Stores should open on Friday and I find myself wondering what my first purchase of the year will be. Ice cider? A 12 year old Single Malt? Maybe even a bottle of Champagne to celebrate that huge paper that was accepted last week.

How about you?
