Price: $8.95 (ON SALE)
Vintage: 2007
Date drunk: September 5th, 2009
d.: It's a very woody taste--it's almost coniferous in its woodiness.
g.: There's something very oily about it. It's a really thick and... full-mouthed taste. Is that "full bodied"? Either way, I feel like I just did a shot of canola oil. How long did they let this shit steep in wood barrels? A million years? Am I going to get a disease?
I guess it's been a really long time since we had a straight Seyval Blanc. We had them long before we started reviewing wine, and at the time I thought it was super smooth and easy to drink. I can see how it's SMOOTH and how it might be a nice thing to mix with something else, but DAMN. I can't even explain what it is, but its like there's something MISSING from this wine. Some important element that makes wine taste normal. This is like alternate universe wine (MIRROR UNIVERSE WINE).
d.: It's definitely not the same as the other two Seyval Blanc wines we had from the Maritimes. Probably because there's a healthy dose of smog involved in the creation of these grapes. There's not much to it. I guess for $9.00 you can't really complain (but we will anyway). It's like if Lucy Maud had written Anne of Green Gables and left out Matthew and Marilla.
g.: Wow.
