Distinctly Canadian...

 

In the advertising insert of the LCBO promoting Canadian alcohol products (Sat. June 26, Globe, Star) for the Canada Day weekend, there is a series of "Distinctly Canadian..." wines.

 

One such wine is Sandhill Estate Vineyard Chardonnay VQA Okanagan, which comes from four vineyards. It is described thus: "And while the result is a blend bursting with aromas of tropical fruit, the crisp flavour is so distinctive it could only be Canadian."

 

Would anybody want to hazard a guess as to what constitutes a Canadian flavour?

And why it should be the same across Canada, and not just part of BC terroir - where the wine comes from? What was the PR writer thinking about?

 

Obvious candidates:  apple, pear, peach.

 

Less obvious:  sour, disagreeable, apologetic, whiney, modest, unassuming, self-effacing, not American, forgiving, mosaic, appreciative.
