Vintages Recommendations

A bi weekly summary of the wines I'd pick from the latest LCBO Vintages release. Please do keep in mind I am a big red bigot...no fan of wimpy Pinot Noirs. White wines will be tolerated if the QPR is excellent...but I lean towards reds from Tuscany, the Southern Rhone, Aussies, the Okanagan, Washington State, Chile, Argentina and California (but only if the price is right).
