Based in Montreal, this consignor has always had a passion for farming and was once a part-owner of a winery in Oregon. His journey into wine collecting began in 2005 when he acquired a collection from a SAQ cellar owner, soon after which he started investing in Bordeaux futures. Except for the Vice Versa, which was purchased directly from the winery, his entire collection was sourced through the SAQ. Every bottle has been carefully stored in his custom-built, climate-controlled underground cellar by Mr. St-Laurent.
The rating for 2010 Vice Versa Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 91 points from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Dense, pure and tightly wound, with a rich core of dark berry, black licorice, cedar, crushed rock and firm, fine-grained tannins. Where the foothills meet the valley floor in St. Helena, there’s a tranquil, remote, rocky vineyard called Beckstoffer Las Piedras. It is still here, across Sulphur Creek from St. Helena cemetery. In the 1920s this area was the home to St. Helena’s Chinese community. This wine’s musical inspiration is “Sleepyhead,” a 2009 song by Passion Pit that deals with themes of isolation and indecision. Croatian artist Paolo Čerić’s label design features the face of a sleeping woman overlain with spiral grooves, like those of a vinyl record.
