Winery review: A lightly oaked, dry Vidal Blanc with overtones of grapefruit and vanilla. Serving un-chilled presents a well rounded, full palate and a lingering finish. Afternoon Delight is well suited for pairing with seasoned pork, roasted poultry, heavy seafood such as salmon or mussels, peppermint, venison, lamb, and saged sausage. This wine really pulls out any Summer herbs, especially rosemary! Chilled it is a bright yet complex and crisp, refreshing white. Afternoon Delight is great with strong cheeses chilled or unchilled.

My review: A very sweet tasting wine. Definite flavors of grapefruit and some lighter berries. Smell contains much more of the light berry than the taste, when the grapefruit comes out. It is a sweet, yet slightly acidic flavor. A little bit sweet for my taste, but overall a good wine. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
