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.

Bodegas Altanza Lealtanza Gran Reserva Rioja 2010, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$31.95
This Tempranillo has a fairly intense and lifted nose of ripe/dried cherry, floral, and vanilla notes with savoury, wet forest floor undertones. It's medium-bodied with lovely, balanced aroma replays. It also has clean, lively acids and a tannic presence. The long finish is clean and well-balanced. Tasted Nov/2019.
La Crema Russian River Chardonnay 2017
California, Usa$39.95
Elegant, medium-high intensity nose of pear, apple and some mineral accents and touches of butter and tropical fruit. It's medium-full bodied and crunchy on the palate with balanced, juicy acids. Joining the aromas replays are some earthy and wood notes on the palate. Excellent finish length. Tasted Nov/2019.
Jules Taylor Wines Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough
Marlborough, New Zealand$19.95
Medium-high to highly aromatic nose features minerally notes of peach, guava, kiwi, and tropical fruit aromas, along with some grassy and lemon citrus notes, all of which comes through on the medium-bodied, crunchy palate. It's supported by vibrant acidity and is well-balanced on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Nov/2019.
