Another pink to try...

Toronto Star columnist Carolyn Evans Hammond, has recommended another pink delight called Pelee Island Pelee Pink (2023).   I'm about to try a bottle shortly.   This Pelee Island product is apparently a delicious blend of 86 percent Chambourcin, a lesser known grape, and 14 percent Vidal.   The result is seems is a rose' that gleams pink in the glass.   The flavour is, apparently, juicy and round with a kiss of sweetness offset by racy aciditity.   Flavours lean toward freshly picked strawberries and ruby grapefruit.   Carolyn goes on to say this crowd-pleassing style will appeal to fans of the once-popular Bread & Butter Rose' from California.   It is 12.5% alc. and 14 g/L sugar, selling at $13.95.   We shall see...
Please comment if you wish.
