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.

Jean Max Roger Cuvée Marnes Et Caillottes Sancerre 2018, Ac
Loire, France$31.95
Fresh, clean, open, and fragrant nose of stony mineral mingles with lime citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of grassy herb. It is firmly structured and fresh on the palate with very good depth of fruit and flavour intensity, offering stony mineral, citrus, and saline flavours. Tangy, mouth-watering acids are fresh and lively, while the stony-citrus finish has excellent length. Tasted Nov/2019.

Jean Max Roger Cuvée Genèse 2015, Sancerre
Loire, France$30.95
Faint aromas of lime citrus and white flower from the cork. Seems a bit shy at the moment, but offers ripe yellow plum, white floral, citrus aromas with hints of herbally and stone fruit notes that are quite appealing. It is medium-full bodied with lively acids that cut through the slightly fleshy palate. It's rich with very nice aroma replays plus some grassy flavours with good intensity. There's also a nice mineral edge arriving mid-palate and continues through to the long finish. Lovely wine that should be served with only light chill. Tasted Mar/2017.

Fresh, medium-high intensity has complex peppery spice, earth, dark berry, blackberry, dark plum, and hints of purple fruit aromas. It's medium-full bodied with fresh, vibrant acidity lifting the spicy aroma replays. Supple tannins are a touch tight at the moment. Excellent length on the long, balanced finish. Tasted Aug/2019.
