This Ontario based consignor is a lifelong wine enthusiast who began building his collection in the 1970s. Despite humble beginnings, he developed a deep appreciation for wine early on, especially French vintages. Over the years, he amassed hundreds of bottles and traveled with his family to wine regions around the world to explore the people, land, and craft behind each bottle. In every home, he built a wine cellar maintained at 11–12°C with stable humidity. A personal touch: he always covered the floor in small pebbles to help prevent bottles from breaking if dropped. Now, after decades of collecting, he is ready to share many of these exceptional wines so others can enjoy and appreciate them as he has.
