In the late 1980s and mid 1990s, this collector’s interest in wine blossomed during visits to the Bordeaux and Champagne regions of France, as well as Tuscany. In the early 2000s he intensified his acquisitions, evolving into a devoted collector. The core of his collection is predominantly French wines from the Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne regions, Italian wines from Piedmont and Tuscany, and a selection from California. All the bottles were sourced from the SAQ and LCBO. Notably, Bordeaux wines were acquired as futures, while others were obtained upon release. To ensure optimal conditions, the wines were stored professionally in third-party temperature and humidity-controlled cellars and for the past 15 years have been in his home cellar where temperature and humidity are meticulously regulated.
The score for 2004 L'Aventure Estate Cuvee Paso Robles is 99 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Even better and a borderline perfect wine, the 2004 Estate Cuvée offers a spectacular array of creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, graphite and hints of licorice in its full-bodied, seamless and incredibly elegant personality. Truly spectacular, with phenomenal purity and finesse, fine tannin, and knockout richness and length, it’s still a baby in terms of development and should continue to evolve gracefully for another decade or more
