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.

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.

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.
