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.

Tussock Jumper Chenin Blanc 2019, Wo Western Cape
Western Cape, South Africa$12.95
Ripe, fragrant nose of lemon peel and citrus with herbal hints. It's medium-bodied with clean acidity and a ripe flavour profile with apple, citrus, and touches of hay and grassy notes. Very good finish length. Tasted Dec/2019.
Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio Trentino Riserva 2017
Alto Adige-Trentino, Italy$17.95
Majority barrel-fermented, this Pinot Grigio has a fragrant, medium+ intensity, oak-influenced nose of apple, pear, butter, and vanilla. It's medium-full bodied, creamy, and well-structured on the palate with nice aroma replays. Juicy acids are nicely balanced, while vanilla and oak notes linger on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Dec/2019.
Echeverria Gran Reserva Pinot Noir 2017, Leyda Valley
Casablanca Valley, Chile$15.95
Tasted Dec/2019.
Château Saint Louis La Perdrix L'envol 2018, Ap Costières De Nîmes
Languedoc, France$12.95
This blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 20% Mourvèdre has a fresh, ripe, purple-fruited nose surrounded by garrigue, peppery spice, mineral, and blackberry aromas. It's medium-bodied and crunchy on the supple palate with very nice blackberry, dark cherry, mineral, and spice flavours supported by lively acidity. Tannins have a just a touch of grip while the finish length is very good. Tasted Dec/2019.
