With 25 years of experience, the owner has maintained this collection in a professional Rosehill Cellars environment since 2007. Sourced via the LCBO or direct-from-winery imports (Mendoza, Napa), the bottles have never left climate-controlled storage. As his palate has shifted toward the Old World, he is reducing his New World stock to better manage his dual cellars in Ontario and Bordeaux.
