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.

Penley Estate Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Coonawarra, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$19.95
Medium-high intensity aromas of cassis, black and red berries, and a shading of oak. It is full-bodied with lovely aroma replays plus herbally hints on the palate. With juicy acids, structured tannins, and a very good finish length, this can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years. Tasted June/2019.

Best's Great Western Riesling 2017, Great Western, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$19.95
Lovely, ripe, fragrant nose of lemon/lime, stony mineral, apple, orange citrus, and hints of petrol and peach. All of the complex aromas shine through on the palate in an off-dry flavour profile that is balanced by the bright and lively acids. Veers towards dry on the long finish. Tasted June/2019.

The highly aromatic nose is intense with lovely ripe peach, honey, and lemon citrus aromas with a hint of melon. The full-bodied, viscous palate has very good fruit concentration with lusciously sweet aroma replays that are balanced with bracing, juicy acidity. The finish length is excellent. Tasted Jan/2020.

Screw cap. Lovely, fragrant, medium-high intensity nose of petrol, lemon oil citrus, waxy, white peach, and orchard fruit complexity. It's miedium+ bodied, off-dry and with delicious petrol, lemon/lime citrus, white peach, and green apple flavours with a kiss of sweetness surrounding a core of savoury, stony mineral. It has very good, lively and juicy acidity, along with a nicely chalky textured mid-palate. Leesy, limestone mineral notes linger on the long, dry-ish, crisp, and well-structured finish.
