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.

Masi Costasera Amarone Classico Riserva 2009, Valpolicella
Veneto, Italy$69.95
Blend of 70% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta, and 5% Molinara. Medium-to-high intensity aromatics with rich notions of dried fruit, floral, tomato leaf, and fig. It's plush, dense and mouthwatering on the full bodied palate with terrific sweet and savoury aroma replays. Very good structure, bright acids, and excellent length on the finish. Enjoy over the next 15 years. Tasted Nov/2015.
