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.

Nals Margreid Punggl Pinot Grigio 2016, Doc Südtirol Alto Adige
Alto Adige-Trentino, Italy$29.95
Medium+ intensity nose is ripe with lemon citrus and peach that mingle with flinty mineral and wet stone characters. It is medium-full body and quite substantial on the fleshy, densely packed palate with orchard fruit and mineral flavours. It's a touch creamy with balanced acids. Apple notes linger on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Nov/2019.

Kono Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$18.95
Screw cap. Fragrant nose of key lime, passionfruit, citrus, kiwi, guava tropical fruit and hints of asparagus aromas wafting from the glass. It is medium-full bodied and concentrated, brimming with vibrant, zesty acidity that freshens the palate. More lime, passion fruit, citrus, and tropical fruit flavours dance on the zesty and ripe palate. It's quite juicy on the mid-palate, while mineral notes appear on the long, dry finish. Highly recommended. Tasted Sept/2019.

Deu La Deu Alvarinho 2018, Monção E Melgaço, Doc Vinho Verde
Vinho Verde, Portugal$16.75
Fresh, medium-high intensity nose has melon, peach, grapefruit, green apple and herbally aromas. The light-to-mid weighted palate is dry with nicely balanced aroma replays that are lifted by fresh, vibrant acidity. Hints of stony minerals on the mid-palate. Very fresh on the long finish. Tasted Sept/2019.

Domaine Béranger Pouilly Fuissé 2016, Ac
Burgundy, France$37.95
Medium-high intensity nose is smoky and flinty in character with lemony, herb, oyster shell, and apple nuances, all of which come through nicely on the medium+ bodied palate. The bright acidity is well-balanced, while the finish is long and focused. Tasted Sept/2019.

Nativ Suadens Bianco 2017, Igt
Campania, Italy$27.95
An unusual blend of equal parts Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Falanghina Beneventana, this has medium+ intensity aromatics that are fresh and perfumed with herbally and melon notes. The medium-full bodied palate is rich and structured with nice, medium-sweet aroma replays plus floral and spicy notes that are supported by vibrant acids that keep the sweet flavours in check. Finish length is very good. Tasted Sept/2019.
