Wine lover since 2001! My interest in wine began while touring the factory where they printed the LCBO VINTAGES magazine.
Over time, my passion for wine grew. Now, I am highly regarded by friends and colleagues as a resource for when they need a wine for that special occasion, be it an anniversary, birthday, wedding, gatherings at home, or when they want to impress their special friend or the In-Laws.
Combining my interest in the Internet/web/computers, you can find me at https://vintagewinepicks.blogspot.com where you will find more wine reviews, events and contests.

Marchesi Fumanelli Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2011, Doc
Veneto, Italy$72.95
A blend of 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, and 20% Rondinella, this is a dense and concentrated Amarone offering medium-high intensity notes of ripe cherry, sweet berry, fig, sweet oak spice, tobacco, and hints of earthy aromas and flavours. It's full-bodied and warm on the palate, but well-balanced. Acids and tannins are also nicely balanced. The finish length is excellent. Enjoy over the next 7-8 years. Tasted Oct/2017.
