Pelee Island - Blanc de Blanc (Vidal/Riesling mix)

Origin: Ontario
Price: $9.95
Vintage: 2008
Date drunk: June 26th, 2009



d.: It's a smooth tingly yum.

g.: It made me make a bad sound.

d.: It always makes you make a bad sound.

g.: That's what... she said? Yes. It's very acidic. Kind of citrusy, but maybe without the citrus flavour. This is going to give me some serious heartburn. I know the Vidal/Seyval Blanc mix wasn't like that, so maybe the Riesling is the heartburn factor here?

d.: It's brightly acidic.

g.: I agree. If this were music, it would be high-pitched.

d.: And probably happy. Man, I hate that in music.

g.: It would probably have heartburn. I'm not really sold on this. I can drink it, but might not get this again until they bring back the Seyval Blanc mix. What happened, Pelee Island? Where did your Seyval grapes go?

d.: If you let it linger in your mouth, it turns against you, like a nice drinking puddle that goes stagnant and becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes.




g.: Man, I can't take you anywhere.
