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.

Noble Hill Syrah 2016, Wo Simonsberg Paarl
South Africa$18.95
Mostly Syrah with minute amounts of Mourvèdre and Viognier, this has a medium+ intensity nose with savoury, meaty, and peppery spice and some dark currant and cherry notes adding some fruit to the aroma profile. It's medium-bodied with supple, fine tannins that are a touch structured, with smoky, toasty, scorched earth flavours, plus touches of dark berry and spice notes adding complexity. Acids are fresh and nicely balanced. Finishes long with more smoky and scorched earth tones. Tasted Feb/2020.

This blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 5% Carignan has a lovely, medium-high intensity and pretty nose of red cherry, red berry, kirsch, licorice, and touches of floral. The medium-bodied palate has very nice aromas replays plus stony mineral notes on the flavour profile. It has a fresh, spicy mid-palate to go along with supple, integrated tannins. Lovely red berry, kirsch, and licorice notes linger on the long finish. Tasted Feb/2020.

13th Street June'S Vineyard Riesling 2019, VQA Creek Shores, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
Fresh, fragrant and pretty with floral aromas surrounding notes lime citrus, white peach, and whiffs of limestone minerality. It's medium-dry on the concentrated, slightly fleshy palate with honeyed, orange citrus, peach, and tangy lime flavours lifted by racy acidity. Chalky textured with touches of minerality on the mid-palate. Very good length on the long, tangy, minerally, and slightly dry finish. Enjoy over the next 5-6 years. Tasted Mar/2020.
