Wow! What a great wine at a very reasonably price ($12 CAD).

I picked this up as it's supposed to be sort of a commercial equivalent to a wine kit I thought about making (much to the chagrin of all here, I'm sure). I used it to make dinner, as well as drink with dinner. I make what my girlfriend refers to as "wine chicken" - basically chicken breasts panfried in garlic, EVOO, some spices, and then pour on a mixture of low fat cream of mushroom soup (straight outta the can), about a glass of wine, and a bunch of spices (basil, garlic, mrs. dash, pepper) - mix all that up and pour on the chicken. Very yummy.

Anyhow, the wine...On the nose, floral and tropical fruit were prevalent. The taste was...super! Very zesty, but not overly acidic. Crisp and refreshing, flavours matched the nose, good finish. I just REALLY liked it.

Can't wait to finish the bottle!
