A consignor based in Southwestern Ontario, his passion for wine began in his early adulthood, during a visit to his cousin in New York City. He was introduced to a couple of bottles of wine that were unlike anything he had ever tasted. Inspired by this experience, he began investing more money in the wine he bought. As he became more successful in his career, his appreciation for wine deepened, and he started collecting fine wines. He immersed himself in learning about wine, exploring various varietals, regions, and he and his wife visited Napa Valley twice with friends, which led to most of his early collection being focused on California wines. He soon ventured into Bordeaux Futures and found out that the LCBO offered an annual allocation of rare DRC wines, and over the years, he was fortunate enough to acquire several bottles. He takes great pride in his collection, purchased through the LCBO and direct from wineries, and stored all bottles in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
The score for 2010 DRC Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This is the second time that I have tasted the 2010 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru from bottle from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and it was a wine that prompted a table of mature Pinot aficionadoes to remark upon the joys of infanticide. This is just a fantastic wine from the domaine. The nose is heavenly with its exquisite delineation, the fruit maybe a touch darker and earthier than a couple of years ago -- yet still with subtle woodland/sous-bois aromas and a hint of morels. The palate is wonderfully defined, so fresh and precise with filigree tannin. Yet there is great backbone to this wine, a framework that imparts a sense of symmetry that is totally disarming. Of course, readers should afford this magnificent wine a decade in the cellar...unless by complete accident a corkscrew falls into the cork and twists around until the cork pops out. Then you will have to drink it.
