Happy Birthday Canada!
On Canada’s Birthday I made sure only Canadian beverages (actually Ontarion) were opened around our house.
I recently was reorganizing my cellar and came across a few 2006 Chardonnay’s from Erie Shore. I opened one of them on Canada’s birthday. Glad I did as I think this one may have just peaked. It wasn’t as fruity as I remembered it being. It was still good but time is running out on this one. If you have any I suggest opening them soon.
Good news is that Erie Shore Vineyards has released a new 2007 Chardonnay vintage. I have one to review and will do so soon.
To celebrate Canada’s birthday I also opened a Malivoire 2009 Musqué Sprintz. Yes another Chardonnay but with a twist. Yes it had a stelven cap however the twist was in how the winemaker made this one. Much like a Moscato d’Asti. Nice assertive nose, lots of citus, lemon and orange peel. Taste was much the same with pear also noted. What a treat it was.
The birthday celebration was topped off with a few cans of Steam Whistle Pilsner. An independant brewery from Ontario.
