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.

San Fabiano Calcinaia Chianti Classico 2016, Docg Tuscany
Tuscany, Italy$21.95
This blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Malvasia Nera, and 5% Canaiolo is fresh and perfumed with red cherry, spice, cinnamon, and clove aromas. It is medium-bodied with tight, chalky tannins and nice aroma replays on the flavour profile. Acids are very good, while the finish is long and chalky. Will be better in 2-3 years. Tasted Oct/2019.
