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.

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.

Jean Max Roger La Grange Dimiere Sancerre Rosé 2017, Ac
Loire, France$20.75
In the glass, this has clean, fresh aromas of citrus, strawberry, melon, tropical fruit with hints of mineral and red berry, with very good intensity. The palate is medium-full bodied and dry, leading with fine saline minerality joined by citrus, melon, tropical fruit and hints of strawberry flavours. Acids are tart, crisp, very juicy, and lip-smackingly fresh. Finely balanced throughout with berry and citrus flavours lingering on the long finish. Tasted July/2018.
