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 2013 Kapcsandy Family Winery Roberta s Reserve State Lane Vineyard Yountville is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - At 100% Merlot, the 2013 Merlot Roberta’s Reserve is off the charts and could easily eclipse a great vintage of Pétrus in a blind tasting. Fabulous notes of sweet cocoa and chocolate intermixed with black cherry and blackberry soar from the glass of this full-bodied wine that has a deep, rich, profound core of fruit and density. It is a great example of possibly the finest vintage Napa has ever produced for Bordeaux varieties. This wine has greatness all over it, with a minute-plus finish, yet is accessible enough to be drinkable now or cellared for another 30+ years. The Kapcsándy Family Winery, with their State Lane Vineyard on the Yountville crossroad, burst on the scene just over ten years ago and now has 20 acres planted, producing just four cuvées. The 2015s saw the earliest harvest ever at the estate, commencing and finishing before the end of September, and producing strikingly rich, intense wines that are open-knit and opulent, with sweet, well-integrated tannin.
The score for 2013 Kapcsandy Family Winery Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Little can be added to the greatness of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine (600 cases) is truly stunning in its dense, crème de cassis and blackberry-scented nose with a hint of barbecue smoke and forest floor. Tasting like a ripe vintage of Château Latour from Pauillac, the wine has amazing richness and a savory, expansive mouthfeel, but tiptoes across the palate like a ballerina. A wine of magnificent richness and intensity, but vibrancy, purity and overall equilibrium, this is a staggeringly great wine and another tribute to the Kapcsándy family’s extraordinary professionalism and meticulous attention to detail in their vineyard.
