This wine was introduced in 2016 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hip's classic album Trouble at the Henhouse. It's creamy and toasty with aromas and flavours of green apple, lemon and buttercream, and a long finish. Pair with roast chicken or Gord Downie's personal favourite meal of orzo with onions, Italian sausage and mushrooms, and raise a glass to this beloved Canadian album and to Gord's illustrious career. |
