It was our friend's birthday last night and we all gathered to celebrate. The wine choice for the evening was the 2010 Exultet Chardonnay from Prince Edward County. Sometimes, you don't need to deconstruct the wine into aroma, flavor, color and mouthfeel, you just need to be hedonistic! In the case of the Blessed Chardonnay, it was unanimous, everyone loved it! One of our friends said that even without food, it was delicious.It was very pale lemon in color, crisp with well balanced acidity and minerality. My husband explained where the wine came from, no, not Prince Edward Island, although it is an island in Lake Ontario, it's from Prince Edward County. He also explained how they have to bury their canes in the winter. I was remembering our visit to Exultet, and recalling how Gerry and his sons Mario and Joseph were in the winery to welcome us and let us taste their wonderful creations. Oh, and by the way, this bottle of Chardonnay brought home gold at the 2012 Ontario Wine Awards, it's easy to taste why!
