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.

Château De Tréviac Corbières 2017, Ap Bottle
Château De Tréviac Corbières 2017, Ap
Languedoc, France
$18.95

This tank-aged blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache has a medium-high intensity nose that is rich, swarthy, and quite pretty with dark berry, cherry, black licorice, garrigue, pepper, anise, and subtle stony-smoky mineral aromas. On the full-bodied, concentrated palate it has lovely black cherry, licorice, black pepper, spice, and stony mineral flavours supported by fresh, lively acidity and refined tannins that have a somewhat chalky, grippy texture. Black cherry, licorice, and savoury, stony, smoky mineral notes linger on the long finish. Great buy! Tasted Mar/2021.

De Angelis Offida Pecorino 2018, Docg Bottle
De Angelis Offida Pecorino 2018, Docg
Marche, Italy
$13.95

Medium+ intensity nose offers pretty floral, white flower, stone fruit, citrus, and melon aromas. The medium-bodied palate has clean fruit and acids, with nice aroma replays on the ripe-fruited flavour profile joined by some pleasing spice notes and a touch of heat on the mid-palate. Hints of mineral on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Jan/2020.
