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.

Bischöfliche Weingüter Trier Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett 2017, Prädikatswein
Mosel, Germany$22.75
This sweetie has a medium+ intensity nose that is clean with tangerine, apricot, slate, and mineral aromas that builds intensity with time in the glass. It's medium+ bodied with fresh, bracing acidity. Lovely aroma replays on the flavour profile, plus touches of honey, orange, and peach flavours adding complexity. Nicely balanced with a long, sticky finish. Tasted Nov/2019. Score: 90+ pts

Finca Los Maza Reserva Malbec 2016, Uco Valley, Mendoza

Fresh, medium+ intensity nose that's fairly complex with purple fruit, violet, spice, sweet oak, and dark berry aromas. It's medium+ bodied with more dark berry, violet, floral, and spice flavours with touches of smoky mineral on the tail end. Tannins have some structure and are a touch grippy, while acids are very good. Touches of chocolate add further complexity to the long finish. Tasted Dec/2019.
