Over 30 years ago, the LCBO played a key role in sparking his interest in wine when they opened a large Vintages section at his local store. He began reading their monthly magazines and exploring new releases, which deepened his passion for wine. This enthusiasm eventually led him to travel to various wine regions. He started collecting wine in the late 1990s, purchasing mostly from the LCBO, with additional acquisitions from Toronto auctions and visits to vineyards. His collection was always stored in a temperature-controlled wine cellar, built by Rosehill Wine Cellars, prior to arriving at Iron Gate.
