This consignor, who was Cellerier for the Confreie des Chevaliers du Tastevin for 10 years and the Grand Senechal for 5 years, began collecting wine in 1985, after he worked in Switzerland with a professor and Burgundy enthusiast. A visit to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti to pick up a mixed case of 1985 DRC—and tasting a 1962 Richebourg—sealed his passion for fine wine. His collection was sourced primarily on release, either in Europe, Western Canada, or the U.S. Wines requiring long-term aging are stored in a passive underground cellar in Whistler, kept at 40–48°F with 45–55% humidity. Shorter-term bottles are held in a second underground cellar at home, averaging 52°F and 50% humidity. He also maintains a cellar at his farm in Sweden, dedicated mainly to white Burgundy and white Rhône wines, purchased at source and transported directly from France. Due to the high humidity (97%) and low average temperature (38°F), bottles there are wrapped in plastic to protect the labels—conditions that provide near-perfect aging for whites.
