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.

Umani Ronchi Cùmaro 2011, Conero
Marche, Italy$69.95
100% Montepulciano. Lovely, highly aromatic and complex nose with balanced cherry, clove, cinnamon, sweet spice and some rose floral aromas, all of which come through very nicely on the medium-full bodied palate. This has fine tannins, very good acidity and an excellent finish length. Tasted Oct/2016.

Rivarose Brut Prestige Rosé Sparkling, Igp Mediterranean, Salon De Provence, France
Provence, France$17.40
Crafted in the tank method, this blend of Syrah and Grenache has a generous, medium+ intensity nose with enticing aromas of grapefruit, strawberry, orange zest, citrus, raspberry, and leesy mineral with hints of floral. The medium+ bodied palate is essentially dry with delicious grapefruit, orange, citrus, and mineral replays with red berry fruited touches like strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Fine, beady bubbles and fresh, juicy, thirst-quenching acidity carry through to the dry, minerally, floral, and lip-smacking finish, with very good length. Tasted July 2022.

Cliffhanger Pinot Grigio 2017, Doc Trentino
Alto Adige-Trentino, Italy$15.95
Medium intensity aromas of ripe stone fruit, think yellow pear and peach, along with some citrus, floral and touches of honey. It is mid-weighted on the honeyed palate with sharp, juicy acids. Honeyed citrus, ripe pear and melon flavours with a kiss of sweetness on the flavour profile. A touch of mineral appears on the finish, with very good length. Simple and widely appealing. Tasted Feb/2019.
