This consignor was raised by parents who always opened a bottle of wine with dinner, and he fondly remembers Gruaud-Larose. His early interest developed into a passion in 1993. Around that time, he was in Bordeaux and had heard of Chateau Margaux, so he went there, climbed the steps and rang the bell, and they granted him a visit. He started collecting that day and purchased 1990 Chateau Margaux in the village for $80 a bottle. He then started buying more wine, participated in wine events, traveled to several wine producing regions on many occasions and even got married at Château Smith Haut-Laffite. He purchased mainly from SAQ, LCBO but also from Berry Bros and Rudd, Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa and directly from importers for certain rare wines. He has also managed to get allocations directly from some producers including Harlan, Sine qua non, Kosta Browne and Williams Selyem. The bottles were all stored in a temperature-controlled cellar prior to auction.

For this tasting, we focused on three of his northern Rhones - the Saint Joseph Les Granits, which is the largest production cuvee of the three
