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.

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.

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
