Spain and Canada

Pares Balta Blanc de Paes

Spain; 2004

A strange but not unpleasant wine. This white is soft and even more perfumey than the Las Brisas was, with just a little softer stonefruit. Not much complexity, just a nice, pleasant softness that manages to be very easy to drink without a trace of sweetness.

The grapes:

23% Macabeo
46% Parellada
31% Xarello

Moosehead Canadian Lager

Why am I even reviewing this? It's a classic. Pretty basic lager, without too much hoppy flavor or anything too bitter, basically without much character. Still, it finishes really clean. And it's totally easy to drink. I'd much rather be slamming these than Bud or Miller or any of that. And it's relatively cheap. Drink it out of the bottle.
