It was another night in in Kingston, and though it isn't spring, it was time for a chilled white, dammit! B was baking lemon cupcakes with a bumbleberry filling and French chocolate icing, which is an impressive feat for somebody while drinking. B and C have a new kitchen, so we drank this blend called Everyday, from Dreaming Tree, a California winery. I had picked it up in a gift set at Christmas for 23.90$. Alas, the giftset is sold out, but I will review Dreaming Tree's red, which is still available, later on. A collaboration with Dave Matthews, the cork had cute song lyrics on it
Today was also a chance to try out B and C's housewarming gift from K, a fancy electronic wine opener. You put it on the cork, press the button (while holding the bottle) and it takes the cork out.
It worked pretty well. It took us three button presses to get the cork fully out. This wine tool would be handy for people with hand issues, like arthritis, who may find traditional corks hard to grip. It is quite fancy and may make a good gift for the wine lover in your life. But now on to the wine!
A - This wine is a very fruity smelling blend, like lemons and light coloured fruits. It is a very light tasting wine as well, that would be excellent with the dessert we are preparing tonight, or on its own. It is fruity, and tastes like lychees, pears, and white grape juice. It has no aftertaste or alcoholic flavour. Overall, this is a very pleasant wine. I would drink it again. It tastes like sunshine. It is also very light coloured in the glass and isn't thick or syrupy. A great blend!
B - This wine tastes cidery, and like white grapes as well. I would also drink this wine again, readily and in great quantity. I would drink it with grilled salmon or other similar grilled seafood
C- I don't know what to think, it is a bit dry but very light, without a lot of aftertaste. It was hard to pin down the flavour (maybe a bit of apple?) but it is definitely fruity. I would definitely drink it again, because it tastes good and not strong, but it is also a good price.
