Goodbye Canada - Our last meal(s)



In no particular order, our final meals in the Great White North included a poutine, a Harvey's bacon poutine, lots of pizza, a cheeseburger, a “Christmas on a bun” sandwich (cranberries and turkey are North American, after all) and some wines.





We shared a glass of Ontario's Bodacious white wine, which for a sweeter Riesling/Gewurztraminer/German wine type like me is really a very nice sip, period. The single digit price point is a bonus. (The Bodacious red is good too, but we didn't have any that night.)

Next up was a bottle of Niagara's fine Kittling Ridge Premium Vidal Icewine (2011) which I will preface by mentioning that my palate and nose are completely untrained in wine-tasting before saying that it smelled like apple juice and latex paint but tasted much better than it smelled.



Very sweet and syrupy, a little went a long way. In the end we drank it on ice. I wonder if it would have been much different if we'd let it breathe longer. It went well with strawberries. Personally, I found the Bodacious easier to drink. No, I was not hungover the next day.


Thank goodness!
