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.

Ripe, medium-high intensity nose delivers tobacco leaf, dark red fruit, and herbaceous hints. The medium-bodied palate shows nice aroma replays plus subtle, well-integrated oak tones. Very good acidity is a touch tart, while supple tannins add texture. The finish length is very good. Tasted Aug/2019.

Southbrook Triomphe Merlot 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$27.95
This Merlot (with 15% Gamay) has a pleasing, medium+ intensity nose of currant, cassis, black cherry with bits of cocoa and chocolate aromas. It's medium-bodied with clean acids, supple tannins, and nicely balanced aroma replays on the palate. There's a touch of grip on the mid-palate. Very good length on the rounded finish with more chocolate and dark berry notes. Tasted Feb/2020.
