Hello, everyone! Tonight I am enjoying a little red wine from the local Quebec region. No year, as in the previous wine. Perhaps this is not required in Canada? This is a very unpretentious wine from Rougemont, which is just across the river from Montreal and just North of Vermont. It was somewhat aromatically challenged with light aromas of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry. The taste is similar with no complicating additional flavors. In fact, it is very reminiscent of Lambrusco, but without the bubbles. This is a very light ruby red wine that could be served with fish or chicken dishes. It drinks much like a rose, being lighter in body than almost any pinot noir. I'd actually prefer this to most roses. We had it with salads and cheese bread in the room the night before leaving Quebec. I had to more or less talk Al into buying a wine for tonight, as we're driving back to Knoxville tomorrow. So, since this was available in 500 ml bottles ($9) and was a local product, we decided to give it a try. As a person this would be like that simple guy at work, solid and pleasant enough, but not the deepest thinker.
We also picked up some Ice Wine while in Canada. That will be blogged later when it is opened and enjoyed.
