If you're anything like me, you're probably hesitant to sign up for newsletters and emails, even when they come from stores you like. Sometimes I just don't trust them not to overload my inbox. However, many wine stores will only email you about events, so you probably aren't in for too many.
Recently, I signed up for emails from a shop in Dundarave in West Vancouver, and this morning it's paid off. They sent an email offering me (and everyone else on the list) first crack at several great wines that are usually only available at the winery, or in restaurants where I'd pay double. Demand is so high that there are limits on the number of bottles you can purchase, and they won't reserve any for you. Get there early so you don't have to elbow other enthusiasts out of the way. It's definitely worth it to sign up for some store mailings to get insider info like this.
If you got up early today, head out to West Van to pick these up:
Black Hills Nota Bene, one of the best wine BC produces, if not THE best http://www.blackhillswinery.com/wines/index.html
Burrowing Owl Chardonnay, Cab Franc and Pinot Noir http://www.bovwine.ca/purchasingwine.htm
Jackson Triggs Grand Reserve Shiraz, world's best http://www.jacksontriggswinery.com/en/pdf/IWSCSF_2006_%20Best_Shiraz.pdf
