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.

Peter Zemmer Reserva Pinot Noir 2022, Doc Südtirol
Alto Adige-Trentino, Italy$48.95
Fresh, medium-high intensity has lovely black raspberry, dark red cherry, and strawberry aromas mingling with oak spices and earthy undertones. It's dry on the medium+ bodied palate with a chewy mouthfeel and lovely, well-balanced aroma replays joined by tea leaf and spice touches adding intrigue and complexity to the flavour profile. Tangy acidity along with smooth, fine-grained tannins carry through to the long, tangy, and crisp finish. Tasted Oct. 2025. Score: 91+ pts

Roserock Chardonnay 2016, Eola Amity Hills, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$31.25
Very complex, medium+ intensity nose offers lemony, yellow fruit, yoghurt/lactic, apple, vanilla, and white peach aromas. On the medium+ bodied palate, it is nicely textured, and a touch reductive with nicely balanced aroma replays. It's fresh with balanced, juicy acids. Linear and precise on the finish, with excellent length. A real beauty! Tasted Apr/2019. Score: 92+ pts
