this is french and cheap. it's dry as a chalk storm in wyoming. only available at a couple of bcl's that i know of. for example alberni and thurlow. i think it's about $8.95.
Well, it's about a month later and b33phd1p, wango, and I finally drank a bottle of this fine stuff. Here's an elaboration and a correction: Firstly, it is now available at Kingsgate mall (also known as the armpit of Vancouver) and is actually priced $13.95, hmmm... Eureka! It's worth it. We pitted it against two other wines purchased for curb appeal (Il Bastardo and Colonia) and all three were notably very dry. This one is miles ahead: the driest, most balanced, smoothest, greatest character. There is a curious faint hint of lime and mint on the nose and a much more believable scent of leather (which can be tasted too). Wango draws accolades and respect from her colleagues by noticing the distinct odour of nail-polish remover, of which I am happy to report does not translate to the tongue. Interestingly, two days later on another visit to the Allen's, I noticed that W. D. had a bottle of this on his rack. Coincidence? Maybe great minds taste alike.
