A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Spring Artichokes | Main | April Reviews: Mustard-Roasted Chicken with Salad »
I was in Red, White & Bubbly a few days ago, waiting for them to chill my bottle of Albariño, when I saw it: "The Best Selling Vinho Verde In The World". The bottles were cute, and the wine inside them was so pale that I could easily understand why the Portuguese named it "green" wine. Then I saw the price: $5.95. For less than the price I pay for a single glass of wine at a restaurant I could try the "best selling" green Portuguese wine in the world. How could I pass it up?
The wine was light and refreshing (the "green" in the name actually refers to the wine's young age) and was slightly effervescent. It wouldn't really have enough body to stand up to most food, but it was very drinkable on its own, and I'll bet it makes an excellent summer afternoon drink. Maybe not something I'd spend a lot of money on, but hey, for $6 who cares?
