His love of wine began in the 1980s through a family friendship with Italian neighbors, sparking a 40-year annual tasting tradition. A wedding gift of a wine fridge started his collection, with a focus on Italian wines—especially Nebbiolo—alongside selections from France, Spain, Chile, and Argentina. Many bottles, including Clos Apalta, Almaviva, and Gianni Brunelli, trace back to those early tastings. A cycling trip in Valpolicella led to a connection with Ben Hodson and a strong focus on Vietti Barolo. He and his wife met Elena and Luca Currado and visited their estate in Castiglione di Falletto. All wines were purchased through reputable agencies, the LCBO, and BC Liquor Stores, and have been carefully stored under ideal conditions. Each was selected to be shared and enjoyed.
