A Toronto based consignor who became interested in wine after spending 6 months in France many years ago. Their affection for very nice bottles grew over time and they started collecting in the early 2000’s. They began with Bordeaux futures, and then moved more heavily towards California as well as Italy. The wines were mainly sourced from the LCBO/Vintages, and through several wine agents over the years. The wine was stored offsite, some at Iron Gate, and then moved to their home wine cellar.
The score for 2007 Masseto Toscana is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The estate’s 2007 Masseto is fabulous.

The wine’s pedigree is impossible to miss, in fact in one of my blind tastings it was immediately identifiable
