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.

A blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Carignan that was raised mostly in cement tanks, this has a fresh, stony mineral nose of black cherry and spice.

Marlborough, New Zealand$29.95
Fresh, medium-high intensity nose delivers grassy, kiwi, gooseberry, and lime aromas, all of which come through nicely on the medium+ bodied palate and joined by passion fruit notes. It's supported by bracing acidity and has a long, satisfying finish. Tasted May/2019.
