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.

Ortas Tradition Rasteau 2017, Ac
Rhône, France$17.95
A blend of old vines 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Medium intensity nose offers nice blackberry liqueur, dark berry, spice, and kirsch, with hints of graphite and loamy earth aromas. It is medium-full bodied on the palate with blackberry, spice, and graphite flavours. Acids are balanced and juicy, while finely textured tannins are well-integrated. Graphite notes and a touch of bitterness linger on the finish, with very good length. The 14.5% alc./vol. is well-balanced. Enjoy over the next 3-4 years. Tasted July/2019.

Three Of Hearts Rosé 2018, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
100% Pinot Noir. Medium intensity nose offers grapefruit, red fruit, herbs, and citrus with nice replays on the medium-bodied palate with just a peck of sweetness. A touch fleshy and some bitterness on the mid-palate. Acids are bright and lively, while the finish length is good. Tasted Mar/2019.

Highly aromatic and ripe with floral, ginger, lime, and orange blossom aromas. Medium-bodied on the palate with lively, clean-cut acids. Nicely balanced aroma replays on the flavour profile. Very good length on the lip-smacking finish. Tasted Mar/2019.

Matahiwi Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Wairarapa, North Island
Wairarapa, New Zealand$17.00
Highly aromatic on the nose with gooseberry, cat pee, and tropical fruits - think kiwi and passion fruit aromas. All of which come through nicely on the balanced palate that is lifted with fresh, vibrant, and bright acidity. Juicy citrus, passion fruit and kiwi notes linger on the long finish. Tasted Apr/2019.
