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.

Medium-high to highly aromatic nose offers pleasing sour cherry, cranberry, strawberry, beet root and earthy aromas with subtle oak spice notes. It's medium-full bodied with very good fruit concentration and nice, ripe raspberry, cranberry, and vanilla flavours. Still a bit young with supple, light tannins. Long, juicy finish. Tasted Sept/2019. Score: 90+ pts

Marqués De Cáceres Excellens Cuvée Especial 2015, Vegan Friendly, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$17.00
This has a quiet nose that offers ripe red cherry, sweet vanillin oak, clove and plum aromas. It is full bodied with oak spice, clove, licorice, and tarry notes surrounding a core of dark cherry. There's juicy, food-friendly acidity, while tannins are firmly structured and chalky and could use a couple of years to soften. Wood spice and earthy notes linger on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Nov/2019.

South Australia, Australia$19.95
Medium-high intensity nose is savoury and meaty with dark berry, pepper spice, and earthy notes. It's mid-weighted with pleasing spicy replays, balanced acidity, and very good length on the savoury finish. Tasted Oct/2019.
