how we work
Private Imports
Ontario liquor distribution is governed by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). R&B has aligned with the LCBO’s consignment program to privately import wine from some of Europe’s finest vineyards and distribute them to local restaurants. This program is a powerful method of brand building for international wine producers, as Ontario wine enthusiasts become familiar with the brand through the wine lists of their favourite restaurants.
We handpick our private imports based on the ratio of quality to price. Our current portfolio features a wide range of producers, from a low-priced yet excellent quality pinot noir from Languedoc to high-end, old vintage Bordeaux.
