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.

Salentein Reserve Malbec 2017, Uco Valley, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$17.95
The medium-high intensity nose leads with smoky mineral and peppery spice aromas followed by dark berry, blackberry, and hints of purple fruits. The medium-full bodied palate offers spicy replays along with blackberry, dark berry flavours, all supported by supple tannins that are a bit chunky and grippy. Acids are fresh, while the finish is long and grippy. Enjoyable now, but better in 2 years. Tasted Feb/2020.
