This Vancouver based collector was introduced to fine wine in his early 20s. He joined a few wine clubs, Commanderie de Bordeaux and Confrerie de Tastevin among them, and started his cellar in the 90s. He has been an avid collector since, amassing over 8000 bottles throughout the years and keeping meticulous provenance notes on each one; the 2 bottles of 1988 Chateau Margaux were purchased in 2015 through Zachys. His wines were procured from government and private stores, direct from US wineries and Zachy’s in NY and all have been stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled cellars at home as well as at 13C Wine Storage.
The score for 2015 Kongsgaard Chardonnay Napa Valley is 96-98 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A barrel sample to be bottled around July 2018, the 2015 Chardonnay gives up peach blossoms, apricot preserves, honeycomb and croissant with touches of cashews and jasmine. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and seductive, it has a gorgeous creamy texture and very long, very spicy finish. Part mystic, part great winemaker and long-time veteran of the Napa Valley wine scene, John Kongsgaard continues to turn out a bevy of exciting and compelling wines from his family’s vineyards high in the cool, rocky soils of Coombsville in the southeastern sector of Napa Valley.
