The consignor was introduced to wine by friends and colleagues in the early 1990s, just as Alberta privatized alcohol sales. His collecting began around 1994, sparked by the purchase of 1988 Château Margaux—his most expensive bottle at the time. Over the past 30+ years, he has purchased wines through the SAQ, auctions, private imports, and cellars. His temperature-controlled home cellar was built in the early '90s and has housed his collection from the very beginning, maintaining optimal storage conditions throughout.
