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 Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet, and Tinta Roriz that has a fruit forward, purple fruit, dark berry, spicy, and pungently funky aromas. It is medium-full bodied with dark berry and minty notes on the flavour profile. Acids are fresh while textured tannins have some grip. Very good length on the finish. Tasted July/2019.

For A Song Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Columbia Valley
Washington, Usa$19.95
92/6/2 Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. The medium+ intensity nose offers plummy, black cherry, black currant, and cocoa aromas with hints of cedar wood. The full-bodied palate has notes of dark plum, blackberry, cedar wood spice, and chocolate flavours. As it opens with time, it reveals some appealing dried herb, tea, and touches of evergreen characters that add complexity. There's fresh, food-friendly acidity, while tannins are finely-grained and rounded. Chocolate, wood, and herbal notes sing in harmony on the long finish. Tasted July/2019.

Xavier Vignon Côtes Du Rhône 2017, Ap
Rhône, France$17.95
This organic red wine is a blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache, plus some Mourvèdre to round out the blend. The medium+ intensity nose offers lovely smoky black cherry, blackberry, and spice notes with hints of currant and minty herbs adding complexity. The medium-full bodied palate is more red-fruited and ripe with cherry, pepper spice, and currant flavours, along with some smoky mineral notes on the mid-palate. It has balanced acids and chewy, fine-grained tannins. Finishes with mocha chocolate and spice notes, with good length. Enjoy over the next 5 years. Tasted July/2019.
