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.

San Felice Il Grigio Riserva Chianti Classico 2015, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
Medium-high intensity nose is savoury and earthy with a touch of barnyard followed by black plum, dark berry, and dark cherry aromas. It's medium-full bodied on the palate with clean, refined tannins and balanced acidity. Lovely, balanced aroma replays echo on the flavour profile. Savoury, minerally, and rustic on the finish, with excellent length. Tasted Nov/2019.

Château Le Boscq 2015, Cru Bourgeois, Ac Saint Estèphe
Bordeaux, France$49.95
Blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. This is highly aromatic with new wood and cherry aromas followed by some floral, earthy, and forest floor notes. It is full-bodied with firm, grippy tannins, and very good acids. Pleasing aroma replays on the palate and excellent finish length. A big, structured wine that needs 5-6 years of cellar time. Tasted Apr/2019.

Leaning Post The Fifty Chardonnay 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$21.95
Reductive aromas of apple, pear, lime and a touch of vanilla. The medium-bodied palate is a touch hot, but offers nice aroma replays plus a nice flinty mineral character that also shows up texturally. Excellent finish length. Tasted June/2019.
