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.

The medium+ intensity nose is clean, balanced, and fruit-forward with fig, spice, dark berry aromas, all of which echo nicely on the dry, medium-full bodied palate. It's supported by fresh acidity and smooth, fine tannins. Earthy and sweet spice notes linger on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Jan/2020.

Mud House Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough, South Island

Fragrant, highly aromatic nose delivers kiwi, guava, and ripe tropical fruit aromas with touches of grassy and gooseberry notes. The light-to-medium bodied palate offers nice, ripe replays on the flavour profile along with some spice notes lifted by fresh, zesty acidity. Very good length on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Feb/2020.
