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 http://vintagewinepicks.blogspot.com where you will find more wine reviews, events and contests.

This blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha Tinta, and 5% Mazuelo has a medium+ intensity nose that is oak-spiced followed by complex earthy, red cherry, mocha, and touches of grilled herb and licorice notes. It is medium bodied on the palate with gritty tannins and ripe flavours of candied-stewed cherry, oak spice, licorice, and cocoa. Acids are fresh and juicy. Smoky, oak spice and subtle sour cherry characters linger on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Oct/2019.

Cave Hunawihr Kuhlmann Platz Gewurztraminer 2018, Ap Alsace
Alsace, France$18.95
Medium-high to high intensity, fragrant aromatics offer lychee, citrus, peach, and floral notes. It's medium-full bodied with good fruit concentration and aroma replays that are a touch off-dry, with touches of spice and nutty notes. A touch bitter on the mid-palate, while the finish is long and dry. Tasted Oct/2019. Score: 88+ pts
