This is quite a sweet Rose,
definitely meant for summer sipping, but hey November is kind of like summer (well, except that it is -17 with the wind chill...),
right? When your road is under construction, sometimes it can still feel like
summer in Kingston! We girls plus one of our roommates popped this bottle, which is available "seasonally" at the LCBO for $12.95 a bottle (whatever that means, it is at most locations as we speak). However, if you are in Kingston in the summer (or November) a detour to this winery in Prince Edward County is WELL worth your time. They sometimes even feed you!

A slightly sparkling fizz to my
tongue makes for a delightful start. It has a slightly off-dry kick to it, but
I think it is good because it really balances the sweet strawberry and cotton
candy taste that could otherwise be kind of cloying and over-bearing. I really
like Sandbanks as a winery because they’ve always been polite and nice to us,
even when we aren’t investing serious wine-buying dollars.

As mentioned before, I am usually
not a fan of roses, however, this wine was an enjoyable, not too sweet blend.
It is very fruity, I would consider it to be the wine equivalent of Strongbow.
A good introductory wine for those not ready for a too intense drink, but still
with some complexity. A really good hostess gift for when you are unsure of
your host’s wine level. Generally, a crowd pleaser!

This wine can kind of burn your
throat if you drink it too quickly, but for a girls night, it makes for good
sipping. It’s good, I don’t hate it, and for a non-wine-drinker I would totally
buy it again. As a really picky non-wine-drinker, this is good news! Sandbanks
has really good samples, even shrimp!
