Not something you want to finish a Chinese dinner with. This would go better with some freshly picked fruit when you're done mowing the lawn. Blueberry yoghurt in a fizzy, overly sweet, alcoholic version. Tasted blind, guessed Dolcetto 2017.

Dinner @ Alo (Alo - 163 Spadina Ave): From the wine pairings at Alo. Sweetness came out a bit more this time than last. Some red fruits. It's not particularly complex or overdone, but there is something wonderful about a set of dessert bubbles at the end of a meal. Just comes across light and easy and refreshing.

Standard Alo dinner: This isn't the most interesting of dessert wines, but it does fit the bill of light and sweet and not overdone. I see where the pairing was going, but something didn't quite fit for me. Perhaps it was that you could really feel the sugar here and it was more like straight sugar? The dish itself was less sweet and with the wine came across as almost a touch bitter.

Pretty; delicate, fruit; off dry, good extract., but welcome simplicity.

Strawberries, light mousse, some sweetness. Not my style and no score.
