When the Queen of England came to visit Ottawa in 2010, the government wanted to show her Canada's best of everything, and this included wine. For her dinner, she was served the Sandbanks Dunes Vidal, a VQA wine from Prince Edward County. And if it is good enough for the Queen, it is good enough for me!It is also carried at the LCBO, where it sells for $12.95. This was another wine that we had at our dinner party and I chose it because it was delicious and widely appealling. It was universally well-recieved.
K - This tastes like a typical vidal. I like this wine and have had it before. I, in fact, bought and drank an entire half case of this. It is a nice summer wine. It is light and tastes like wine but isn't alcoholy or syrupy. It is neither overly fruity or sweet. It has the lightest bit of citrus to it, like a light lime or lemon taste, accompanied by some fruit we couldn't identify, like mango, peach, or apricot. It tastes like something less sweet and naturey, like honey suckle or clover. It is good for sipping with jazz.
K2 - I did whiskey tastings in a previous life and developed a skill for knowing about the different levels of burning one can taste in whiskeys. I liked this wine, it tasted like mango and white grapes.
G - I like it.
A2 - I like this wine a lot. It tastes like a summers night on a patio, and it makes me think of the summer. It has a hint of citrus. I would eat this with salmon.
