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.

Família Oliveda Jove Brut Cava, D.O.
Penedès, Spain$15.95
The medium+ intensity nose offers brioche, baked bread, toasty, and autolytic characters. On the palate it has crisp acidity and fine mousse supporting the nicely balanced aroma replays that are joined by lemony citrus and grapefruit flavours. Nicely textured with very good length on the finish. Tasted July/2019.
