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.

Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir 2015, Dundee Hills
Oregon, Usa$51.95
Highly aromatic, clean and elegant with earthy, beetroot, raspberry, sour cherry, and dark cherry aromas. It's light-to-medium bodied with very nicely balanced aroma replays. Elegantly structured with a nice mineral texture. Smooth, refined tannins. Very long, balanced finish. Enjoy over the next 6-8 years. Tasted Apr/2018.

Stratus Red 2015, Niagara Lakeshore
Ontario, Canada$48.20
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec has a rich, medium-high intensity nose of crushed blackberry, raspberry, and currant, with hints of floral and leather and well-integrated oak spice notes. It's medium-full bodied and nicely textured on the palate with structured and refined tannins that have some grip. Lovely aroma replays are well-balanced. Very good acidity. Some savoury nuances on the long finish. Approachable now, better in 1-2 years and drink to 2026. Tasted Nov/2018.

Lungarotti Sagrantino Di Montefalco 2010, Docg
Umbria, Italy$42.95
Highly aromatic nose is on the savoury side with bretty and barnyard notes, along with some cherry, olive, oak and floral. The palate is medium-full bodied with lovely aroma replays and firm, structured tannins. Acids are mouth-watering, and it has a long, dark cherry finish. Excellent! Tasted Oct/2016.
