The Foreign Affair Dream 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$29.95
(5)*
bought as Xmas gifts...**2023 best**
....Gerrits, Kim, Anne, Crystal, Phil/Sue etc.....
.....of course keep at least one for me
JS says let sit for 1-3 years (Nov/20)
Dec/23....xmas gift for A&G + Norah
Jan/24....drank Norah's. I wasn't as happy with it as I was with the one Rose & Gino gave way back when. Tasted thin (lean?). Fruit was decent but not oustanding. Give the rest a little more time to see if improves...maybe better xmas 24?

Oct 2020....had one right away, was hoping for more so hoping some bottle time will aid.
June 2021....enjoyed this bottle. Nothing extraordinary but a very pleasant quaff.
Aug 2024....with chicken. My impression remains the same as in June 2021....might have been last one??

May 2025.......finished my last one off. Fairly decent wine, great value. Wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again but decent quaff for the money.
Guessing....first bottle went to Janis, second bottle I had maybe 2 years previous.

>summer 2021
>never tried this grape before...chill lightly...JS says to enjoy it young
August 2022....quite enjoyed this wine though it wouldn't be a staple in my cellar. It was refreshingly different, almost like drinking a white but with red berry flavours (a very smooth fruity rose??). Glad I purchased.

January 2021.....wasn't bad but not a wine I need to try again or confident about gifting. Very light, somewhat refreshing, but taste profile not to my liking. Return last two.
Feb 2021....returned last 2
