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.

De Angelis Offida Pecorino 2018, Docg
Marche, Italy$13.95
Medium+ intensity nose offers pretty floral, white flower, stone fruit, citrus, and melon aromas. The medium-bodied palate has clean fruit and acids, with nice aroma replays on the ripe-fruited flavour profile joined by some pleasing spice notes and a touch of heat on the mid-palate. Hints of mineral on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Jan/2020.

This blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Cinsault, and 15% Syrah has a ripe, medium-high intensity nose of minerals, dark berry, and plum notes. It's full-bodied with very good fruit concentration and lovely, spicy aroma replays on the flavour profile. Acids are juicy while the fine tannins are smooth. Long, satisfying finish.

Le Riche Chardonnay 2017, Wo Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch, South Africa$19.95
This cool-climate Chardonnay has a medium-high intensity nose offering a reductive, smoky, gun powder, flinty nose with some stone fruit and citrus characters. It's medium-bodied and clean on the palate with citrus fruit flavours dominating, followed by some pear and apple notes. A touch viscous textured. Fresh fruited and zesty on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Jan/2020.
