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.

Strandveld First Sighting Shiraz 2016, Wo Cape South Coast
Coastal Region, South Africa$14.95
Medium-high intensity nose offers lovely meaty, black and white pepper spice, and dark berry aromas. The medium-bodied palate is supple with grippy tannins and nicely balanced aroma replays on the flavour profile. Acids are juicy, while the finish length is very good. Tasted July/2019.

Blason De Bourgogne Chardonnay Mâcon Villages 2016, Ac
Burgundy, France$17.95
Not very aromatic, but offers hints of mineral and lemon citrus. It's medium-full bodied and structured with very good fruit concentration. Mineral and lemon citrus flavours are lifted with bright acidity and a lively mid-palate. Touch of glycerin on the mouthfeel. Long, dry finish. Tasted July/2019.

Medium+ intensity nose is ripe, but not overly ripe, and has herbaceous, grilled red pepper, currant, and dark berry aromas, all of which come through nicely balanced on the medium-full bodied palate. It's dry with chunky tannins, balanced acids. Very good length on the finish with dark berry and oak notes. Tasted July/2019.

Fabre Montmayou Reserva Cabernet Franc 2016
Mendoza, Argentina$18.95
Medium-high intensity nose is fresh with dark berry, stony mineral, and a hint of floral. It is medium+ bodied on the palate with nice aroma on the flavour profile, plus clove spice notes. Acids are balanced, while tannins are quite smooth and refined, but have some grip on the long, herbally tinted finish. Tasted Aug/2019.
