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.

Rodney Strong Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2017, Sonoma County
California, Usa$28.95
The elegant, medium+ intensity nose offers vanilla, apple, and pear aromas, all of which shines on the refined, medium-bodied palate joined by oak spice flavours. Acids are fresh and lively, while the long finish has more appealing buttery vanilla notes. Tasted Oct/2019.

Bischöflichen Weingüter Trier Dom Spätlese Riesling 2011, Qualitätswein
Mosel, Germany$21.95
Medium-high intensity nose is elegant and refined with ripe apple, petrol, white peach, and citrus aromas and flavours. It quite sweet on the medium+ bodied palate with bracing acids that balance the sweetness. Yellow cherry notes join the flavour profile. It has a juicy mid-palate and excellent length on the finish. Tasted Oct/2019.

Trasqua Fanatico Riserva Chianti Classico 2013, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$24.95
Blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot. Fragrant, mature aromas of dried berry, cherry, and flowers, with some earth, cedar, spice, and hints of orange rind adding complexity. It's medium+ bodied on the palate with dusty, chalky tannins with more savoury and earthy notes on the palate. Balanced acidity. Very good length on the juicy finish. Tasted Nov/2019.
