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.

Terrazas De Los Andes Reserva Malbec 2017, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$19.95
Medium-high intensity nose is a touch reductive, followed by mineral, black spices, earthy, and white pepper characters, all of which come through very nicely on the medium+ bodied palate, joined by some blackberry flavours. Silky, smooth tannins have some grip. It's nicely balanced with very good acidity, and very good length on the finish. Tasted Nov/2019.
Calamus Ball's Falls Red 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula, Ontario
Ontario, Canada$17.95
Medium+ intensity nose is quite complex, offering smoky, tobacco, black cherry, red and black fruits, with hints of herbs, currant, and cassis notes, all coming through nicely on the medium-bodied palate. Tannins are smooth and supple, while acids are nicely balanced. Very good length on the finish. Tasted Aug/2019.
Puente Austral Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Colchagua Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$18.95
Tasted Aug/2019.
Sobilane Grenache/Syrah 2015, Igp Côtes Catalanes
Roussillon, France$18.95
A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this has a medium+ intensity nose of ripe red berry, raspberry, blackberry jam, and sweet spices. It is medium-bodied with nice red fruited, cherry and spice aroma replays. Acids are fresh, while grainy tannins are nicely textured. Very good length on the finish. Tasted Sept/2019.
