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.

Roda Reserva 2012
Rioja, Spain$52.95
This has a highly aromatic, fragrant, and complex nose of red cherry, dark berry, floral, forest floor, earth, and barnyard aromas. It's full-bodied with earthy and dark berry aroma replays. Richly structured tannins and balanced acids are nicely integrated. Finish length is excellent. Drink this lovely wine over the next 5-7 years. Tasted Oct/2017.

Dr. Siemens Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb 2009, Prädikatswein
Mosel, Germany$19.95
Pours medium-deep yellow, offering a mature, medium+ intensity nose of citrus, honeyed, lemon, and apple tones. Still has vibrant, finely-tuned acids on the medium-sweet palate. Very good fruit flavours with some leesy hints. Shows fine balance throughout, with brilliant acidity keeping the sweetness in check. Finish length is excellent. Even at 10 years of age, this has many years to go. Tasted Aug/2019.

The medium-high intensity nose offers limestone mineral, peach, apricot and ripe lemon citrus and stone fruit aromas.

Lazzeretti Brunello Di Montalcino 2013, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$46.95
Highly aromatic nose offers lovely, complex notions of dark cherry, blackberry, cherry, clove spice, woodspice, floral aromas surrounding a savoury, earthy core. It's full-bodied with very nice spice, dark cherry and floral characters on the palate and supported by structured tannins and juicy, mouthwatering acids. Nicely balanced throughout with excellent length on long, earthy, cherry, and tobacco scented finish. Enjoy throughout the decade. Tasted Jan/2020. Score: 91+ pts
