WineScores' Review

Tangy, quaffer, approachable.
The 2018 Character White is an aromatic blend of Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris, and is an approachable quaff scented with honeysuckle and stone fruits, lemon verbena and dried apricots. A tangy entry leads to crunchy fruits and bergamot flavours. Off-dry with a cleansing finish, perfect for patio-sipping or holiday feasts.
Pair: calamari, fresh oysters, seared scallops and roasted chicken, turkey, glazed ham, sweet potato fries.


 
Recommended Pairings
Spicy Food, Patio Sippers, White Meat Chicken/Pork

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
