What kind of budget were you considering? The LCBO has a fair number of offerings. There are outlets that stock a lot more Italian wine than others. The poster who suggested Sassicaia is correct it's a great wine. It is expensive. I don't think that you need to drop $200-$400 dollars on a bottle. I always start with the Vivino app. It's a good at giving you a basic review. Then you can dig a little deeper for more ratings. We were at a charity event last night that had some Californian wines. Vivino saved me a lot of money that might have been spent on a mediocre wine purchase.
