Growing up in the Okanagan Valley, this Calgary-based consignor was immersed in wine from a young age. He worked in the hospitality industry during summers while attending university and completed several courses and certifications in wine. He began collecting wine approximately eight years ago, sourcing bottles through AGLC, BCL, and LCBO. He also traveled several times to the USA and Europe, always bringing bottles back with him or arranging for delivery. His collection is stored in temperature-controlled fridges.
The rating for 2001 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2001 Solaia, far superior to the overrated 1997 (to which I also prefer the 1999 and 1994) is a classic example of central Tuscan Cabernet at its best, ruby-purple in color, warm and explosive in its expression of black currant fruit, tobacco, tar, and graphite, superbly concentrated and dense on the palate but balanced and shapely at the same time and with a noble austerity and grip on the finish which resembles the best of Bordeaux.
