His interest in collecting wine began over 20 years ago while living in Chicago, driven by a simple curiosity about why he enjoyed certain bottles so much more than others. That curiosity quickly led him to Bordeaux—especially Merlot-heavy blends with a softer edge—and Tuscan wines built around the Sangiovese grape. He grew particularly fond of reliable producers like Antinori, who consistently deliver great quality across their entire range. Rather than chasing ultra-expensive trophy bottles, his focus remains on finding the sweet spot between price and performance, making Left Bank Second Growths and solid vintage years the backbone of his selection. To keep everything in peak condition, he relies on Sub-Zero wine fridges, preferring their steady, reliable temperature control over standard cellar storage.

This is the tasting note for 2015 Vieux Chateau Certan Pomerol from Robert Parker - with a score of 98+ points. Blended of 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Vieux Chateau Certan opens with profound notes of blueberry compote, dried mulberries, black forest cake, licorice, violets and garrigue with wafts of black truffles, sandalwood and rose hips. Medium to full-bodied, very earthy/savory and beautifully layered with very plush yet present tannins, it offers lovely freshness and a very long minerally finish. So very Pomerol!.
