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.

Reichsgraf Von Kesselstatt Rk Riesling 2008, Qba Mosel
Mosel, Germany$16.95
Highly aromatic and inviting nose with notes of ginger, lemon and wet rocks. It's lightweighted with refreshing acids and medium sweet (M) flavours of oranges and peaches. Slightly chalky texture and a finish that's long and balanced. Yummy. Tasted May/2014.
