A consignor from BC, his passion for wine began 30 years ago. He built a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in the 90s and stores his collection there. The bottles were all sourced either direct from the producers or through Marquis Wine Cellars in Vancouver.

The rating for 2000 Domaine Zind Humbrecht Brand Riesling Turckheim Grand Cru Alsace is 91 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Produced from 15-23 year old vines from Brand, the 2000 Riesling Turckheim is a rich, intense wine. Its medium-bodied, oily-textured character expands on the palate revealing pears and candied apples whose flavors linger interminably. Fresh and well-balanced, it will be at its best if consumed between 2003 and 2012. Olivier Humbrecht describes 2000 as a year of excellent ripeness where the key to success was sorting out the bad rot prior to harvesting. To accomplish this, Humbrecht sent out teams to go through every parcel, dropping whatever bunches had been infected with sour rot. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht's harvest lasted 6 weeks, with one-fourth being accomplished between September 19 and October 5th, and the remaining three-fourths picked by October 31st.
