The Ladies
Ok so when we were too full for dinner we decided to open some wine. Well what was it???? Oh the suspense is killing you...I know it is. Well it was “the Ladies” from Pelee Island. We first had this wine at the benefit at Calabria a few weeks ago and thought it was great so we bought a bottle. This wine is a Sauvignon Blanc which is an old favorite of mine.
Opening it, I and we were struck by the aroma. Grassy, citrus notes and lots of all types of fruit. Tasting it brought the grassy notes all over. With a lot of citrus notes it was wonderful. This wine reminded me of a real nice New Zealand product which is a really good thing.
Tso was bowled over by the wine. She felt it was the best she has had. Well this was after Wagner's Sauvignon Blanc which I have extolled about in the past. The Ladies were just a lot better. Now that is saying something. I love my Sauv Blancs and this one is right up there and it is way cheaper than Oyster Bay so I am very happy.
The citrus and grass were just there, but not in a 'forward way' and it wasn't muted like a Californian. This was just how I like them.
This wine is a winner and if you like this style I suggest getting some. BTW it is only available at the winery so make the trek to Kingsville and get some. Their staff is quite good and you will be surprised what you can get there.
