Pairings:
2017 Vinho Verde from producer Vila Nova
Light pale yellow, this refreshing white wine has a nose and palate that shows fresh fruit, such as peach, with hints of orange blossom. There is a streak of minerality that makes for a bracing wine, with a well-balanced acidity and a freshness that carries through to the crisp, clean finish. Lovely for a spring or summer day!
2016 Gruner Veltliner from Count Karolyi in Hungary
I love trying wines from regions that aren't quite as popular yet. This is perfect for spring/summer sipping!
