Henry of Pelham Sibling Rivalry White VQA 2009 (Canada)

The Henry of Pelham Sibling Rivalry White VQA 2009 (Canada) is …”Bright, white and out of sight; the triumvirate of Riesling, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.  Long names and hard to pronounce, so we call this wine ‘White’.  Not just another single varietal white – why choose one grape when you can have three?  Think lime citrus and apple freshness with a dash of lychee fruit, in that order.  As someone said at a recent event, “tastes like a sun-vacation”.” (Henry of Pelham website)

Henry of Pelham Sibling Rivalry White (Canada) – “Bright, white and out of sight; the triumvirate of Riesling, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer. Long names and hard to pronounce, so we call this wine ‘White’. Not just another single varietal wine — why choose one grape when you can have three? Think lime citrus and apple freshness with a dash of lychee fruit, in that order. As someone said at a recent event, “tastes like a sun-vacation”.” (Henry of Pelham website)
Henry of Pelham Sibling Rivalry Red (Canada) - “Like three good friends out on the town this wine is Merlot + Cab. Franc + Cab. Sauvignon: dark, juicy and delicious. Loads of lush berry flavours. The savoury flavours from oak aging add ambiance, like dinner by the fire in the den or the backyard.” (Henry of Pelham website)
Luigi Bosca Malbec DOC 2007 (Argentina) - “It shows an intense violet color and displays ripe cherry and plum aromas. Spiced, with hints of mocha and blackberries, this is a delicately perfumed wine with elegant sweetness.” (Luigi Bosca winery website)
Greywackwe Sauvignon Blanc 2010 (New Zealand) – “A refreshing, crisp, mouthfilling, aromatic wine.  Tangy salsa-like honeydew, peach and red capiscum with a twist of grapefruit.”  (Kevin Judd – winemaker)
Fess Parker Viognier (USA) - “…Abundant notes of tropical fruits, apricots, and white peaches emerge from this richly exuberant, fruity, round, generous, crowd-pleasing white wine. Consume it over the next year.” ~ Robert Parker 88 Points
Wild Rose Wraspberry beer (Alberta) – “The tart taste of fresh (whole!) raspberries provides the perfect finish for our light, crisp, easy-drinking ale.”  (Wild Rose Brewery)
