It's always fun when I find a Canadian wine that I really enjoy ... especially for under $10 (but I had to cheat again ... as you will see it was only under $10 because it was on sale - but that counts in this Blog!!) ... and from a family of grape that isn't as well known as some others!
PELEE ISLAND GEWURZTRAMINER
LCBO 135970 | 750 mL bottle
This is a complex wine ... no one flavor sticks out so read the tasting notes below for a thorough explanation. Suffice to say I agree with the notes and have to say that it goes fantastic if you are serving a spicy dish ... the pairing will blow you away if you try it. I would definitely buy it again (it's a staple in my house as I love spicy food) and rate it as an 8/10. If the regular price was under $10 it would be rated higher!!!
