Lailey Vineyard Vidal 2005
VQA Ontario $11.95
Wine maker Derek Barnett works wonders with this grape. Off-dry, it offers bold flavours (citrus and tropical fruit salad) that age has infused with honeyed pear. Look for moderating zesty tang that balances the sweetness on its medium- to full-bodied and creamy-textured frame. Pair it with rich seafood like lobster, drizzled with freshly squeezed lemon. Order your case direct from Lailey www.laileyvineyard.com. (VH)
