The rest of the week has been pretty low key, which was good. Why is it that the short weeks at work always feel like the longest?? It's strange. Shane and I do count ourselves lucky that we have the 9-5 weekday jobs though, no shift work, no weekends, stats off... It's a pretty sweet gig.
Anyways, onto Thursday!

This week our selection practically jumped off the shelves at us. Front and center at the LCBO we saw a beautiful bright label, a name we know and love, a price point we could get excited about... it was fate. So we hugged our new-found bottle tight and made our way home. Vieni Estates' Bruce Trail Rosé.

| Even Tyson was excited for this one! |
After we popped the top and poured into the glasses, we were taken aback by how lovely and springy the colour was. It was a glorious pink, much brighter than traditional rosés. On the nose it had a sweet, bready aroma, with a hint of berries in the background.
The first few sips we just basked in the loveliness that was this bubbly. It was flavourful, it was sweet and dry, it was complex, and it was pretty! Finally we got down to business and started taking notes. There is a strong sweet raspberry flavour, with a nicely dry finish. It had a good volume of bubbles, and a nice acidic bite. After a glass I was starting to get almost a woody flavour, a kind of burnt sugar that I initially placed as maple, but Shane and I later decided on a "toasted caramel".
But who cares because it was delicious! Seriously.
