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.

Redstone Riesling Limestone Vineyard South 2013, Twenty Mile Bench
Ontario, Canada$19.15
Lovely aromatics of medium-high intensity features a nice mineral, petrol, peach and candied orange citrus nose. The palate is medium-bodied with intense, sweet fruited citrusy aroma replays along with hints of lemon/lime and limestone minerality. Acids are bright and a touch sour. Nicely balanced overall and finishes with more minerally notes and excellent length. Tasted Apr/2017.

Oakridge Vineyard Series Henk Chardonnay 2017, Henk Vineyard, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$22.25
Quite intense on the nose, reductive and intriguing white floral blossom, earthy mineral, spice, and white pepper, and acacia aromas. The medium-full bodied palate has balanced, crisp acidity with complex lemony, grapefruit, and spice flavours. Long, crisp finish. Tasted June/2019.

Caves D'esclans Rock Angel Rosé 2018, Ac Côtes De Provence
Provence, France$49.95
A blend of mainly old vines Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino) that is quite aromatic and fresh with grapefruit, red berry, red currant, and strawberry aromas and flavours. It is medium-full bodied and dry with a rounded, fleshy palate and very good acidity. Hints of red pepper on the mid-palate, while grapefruit notes linger on the long finish. Tasted Sept/2019.

Karl Erbes ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese 2016, Qualitätswein
Mosel, Germany$21.75
Fine, highly aromatic nose of petrol, white peach, and orange citrus, supported by lively acids on the medium-sweet palate with orange, peach, and citrus flavours along with some mineral notes. Excellent length on the long, juicy finish. Should age gracefully for at least a decade. Tasted Sept/2019. Score: 90+ pts

Villa Maria Southern Clays Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$29.95
Medium-high aromatics are refined and elegant with gooseberry, cat pee, grass and guava that continue on the nicely balanced, medium-bodied palate. It's nicely textured with balanced acids and a long finish. Tasted May/2017.
