This is my first wine in 2009 to write ten dollars. I used to leave my messages more expensive wines, French and German continue. I drink Canadian wine for decades, and has been better over the years. But I've never seen a Canadian wine until now. Even if the wine turns out to be a disaster, I will examine more. But I can not promise when.

You can do it, but the Canadian wine regions are the same latitude as the almosthot region of Provence, France, and almost perfect temperatures in Tuscany, Italy. So I think we can say that the latitude is not everything. Do not misunderstand. Canada produces excellent wines, for example, Paul Bosc Vineyard Petit Cheval to pay for you, for $ 33 or more. Canadian ice wine is to be the best in the world. You will not find a review here for obvious reasons. Most domestic wines from Ontario, the province's largest and most populous of Canada. Most of OntarioThe Niagara wine region, not far from New York. The wine reviewed below comes from the other end of southern Ontario, Lake Erie North Shore, not far from the state of Michigan. Parts of this area south of Detroit. It 's a VQA wine, which means it meets a number of Canadian standards. In the words of a great wine writer Tom Stevenson: "Although most of the statutory poor performance, engine, auto manufacturers VQA Canadian sealhigher standards and more. "

Neck Estate Cabernet Franc VQA 2007 12.8% alcohol about $ 9.50

Let's start with marketing materials. Characteristics: Ruby red, blackcurrant, cherry, mineral water, vanilla, spices and green pepper / herbal aromas, dry, medium bodied, with ripe fruit, plum and chocolate flavors light, fruit and cedar on the finish. ServiceProposal: veal dishes, beef, venison, chicken with herbs, barbecue, pasta. And now for my review.

I started drinking this wine was alone. It was not unpleasant taste strongly acidic tobacco. The first meal in question bought chicken wings, grilled chicken breast, roasted potatoes and chicken fat. The taste of tobacco is very dominant. Wine is very acidic, which was kind of fatty food. A cool, but not very tasty mango, is flattened. Some fruit juices Candycedar.

The second meal consisted of grilled beef ribs, commercial, green beans in tomato sauce, fried eggplant and the house, with lots of garlic. With the ribs I've tasted black cherries and plum wine. Instead, he gave me chocolate eggplant. Curiously, when I added a peppery flavor to meat the taste of chocolate was Minty.

The last meal was beef stew and chicken meatballs simmered with corn. Now, I triedLeather, chocolate and pepper. The wine was more complex than we normally expect in this price class. But the end was a bit 'thin and acidic. I tried a high quality, French style, very creamy and lemon cake with lemon straight from the freezer. Making wine smelled of cherries.

I finished the tasting of two cheeses. The first is a provolone. The wine was acidic and relatively short. Then with a piece of string cheese, skim milk, the wine was essentially tasteless.Before I tell you my opinion if you do not already know, I'm a fan of rare wines and cheeses, and not be allowed to amend these matches my final verdict.

Findings. Pretty good. This wine was much more in what many others in its price class. But I think I can do much better to do in 2009. Sometimes. Not that I expected to have completed a review of Bourgueil wine of the Loire Valley of central France by the same Cabernet Franc, the signature redGrapes in parts. The cost of French wine, almost double the price of Canadian. It was better? Yes it was twice as good? Absolutely not. Draw your own conclusions.
