His interest in collecting wine began over 20 years ago while living in Chicago, driven by a simple curiosity about why he enjoyed certain bottles so much more than others. That curiosity quickly led him to Bordeaux—especially Merlot-heavy blends with a softer edge—and Tuscan wines built around the Sangiovese grape. He grew particularly fond of reliable producers like Antinori, who consistently deliver great quality across their entire range. Rather than chasing ultra-expensive trophy bottles, his focus remains on finding the sweet spot between price and performance, making Left Bank Second Growths and solid vintage years the backbone of his selection. To keep everything in peak condition, he relies on Sub-Zero wine fridges, preferring their steady, reliable temperature control over standard cellar storage.

This is the tasting note for 2015 Chateau l Evangile Pomerol from Robert Parker - with a score of 97+ points. The 2015 L'Evangile is composed of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc and was matured for 18 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). Deep garnet-purple in color, it absolutely leaps from the glass with complex, gregarious notes of blackberry pie, plum preserves, smoked meats/charcuterie, mocha and licorice plus suggestions of cloves, black soil and unsmoked cigars. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and jaw-droppingly sexy, it has beautifully plush yet firm tannins with a lively backbone and a very long, spicy finish.. 2015 Chateau Pavie Macquin St Emilion Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 98 points, Winedoctor 98 points, Vinous 97 points, Wine Enthusiast 97 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 97 points, Wine Spectator 96 points, The Wine Independent 96 points. 2015 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 99 points, Wine Enthusiast 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck 98 points, Vinous 97 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 97 points, The Wine Independent 97 points. 2015 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 98 points, The Wine Independent 98 points, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch 98 points, James Suckling 97 points, Decanter 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck 97 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 97 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, Wine Enthusiast 96 points, Tim Atkin, MW 96 points. 2015 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac Leognan from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, Decanter 98 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 98 points, The Wine Independent 98 points, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch 98 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points, Winedoctor 97 points.
