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.

Nativ Bicento 2013, Doc Irpinia Campi Taurasini
Campania, Italy$42.00
100% Aglianico. Medium-high intensity aromatics are complex with spicy, blackberry, dark berry, leather, herbs, earth, and a touch of savoury funk. Some smoky mineral notes develop with air. Full-bodied & concentrated with nicely balanced aroma replays, plus black pepper, fig, and floral nuances supported by fresh, bright acidity to keep things quite light on the palate. Firm, drying, mouth-puckering tannins have a dusty & chalky texture. Excellent Finish length with dark berry, black plum, licorice, & spice flavours. Lovely savoury-earthy character throughout. Better in 5 yrs. Tasted Nov/2018

Réva Barolo 2013, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$59.95
The nose is highly aromatic with lovely Morello cherry, red berry, clove, floral, spice and some underlying earthiness. It is medium+ bodied on the palate with nicely managed, fine-grained tannins that have some grip. Very nicely balanced overall with lovely replays on the flavour profile. Juicy acids are balanced and the finish length is excellent. Enjoyable now or over the next 10 years. Tasted Oct/2018.
