This collector started his cellar during University in his early 20's while working retail for an Ontario winery. Initially he was drawn to the wines of Italy, but over time began to focus on French wines, especially Burgundy. He has always had a great appreciation for white wine, particularly for the wines of Chablis, Loire, Austria and Germany. Generally he purchased wines from the LCBO and directly from agents (keeping track of all invoices and probably have digital or paper copies for everything).The wines were stored at home, in temperature controlled, specially built wine cellars.
The rating for 2001 Paolo Conterno Ginestra Barolo DOCG is 90 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Conterno’s 2001 Barolo Ginestra is big, dark and powerful, especially on the palate. The aromatics aren’t quite as clean or well defined as they could be, but there is no denying the 2001 has held up quite well over the last decade. Bright red berries, flowers and spices take shape in the glass as the wine turns increasingly delicate on the finish. Overall, this is a strong showing from proprietor Giorgio Conterno.
