WineScores' Review

Outstanding, oily, zesty.
Made by the France-born Boutinot company of wineries who has expanded beyond the French borders to include projects in South Africa, Italy, the UK and Canada.
Tea Leaf is an outstanding Chenin Blanc from the country that is synonymous with the variety, South Africa, and it is blended with Grenache Blanc and Palomino.
Oily lemony aromas are woven with creamed yellow apples, honey, white blossoms and spiced undertones. The palate has a similar oiliness; golden fruits and candle wax, green almond and resin flavours roll across the tongue.

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”.
