Dolin Blanc is a French sweet vermouth and the original Vermouth de Chambéry AOC. It is made by infusing 33 botanicals in Ugni Blanc wine which is then fortified and sweetened.
Rich and flavourful with hints of gooseberry and apple. Substitute in recipes that call for bianco vermouth, or add seltzer and a twist for a refreshing, easy to sip drink.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
