Light, acidic and great with food. It’s very versatile food-wise and would complement most appetizers and salads. I would definitely try it with ceviche or grilled mahi mahi. Great price!!

As the first wine in my new weekly wine Wednesday review, this vinho verde is exceptional! This wine makes the perfect afternoon delight—crisp, refreshing, with balanced acidity and slightly effervescent, it’s an absolute delight, much to my green tea liking :-) Would go absolutely great with some grilled tilapia.

Gentlemen,
If you are ****NOT*** drinking French wine then you are drinking piss. Stop pretneding that these other wines have redeeming value. Impressionist artists come from France, not Calfornia or Oregon or Chile or Australia. Some goes for wine. Wake up.

JerryG, you have set the 2GU wheels in motion. Get ready for the 2008 Judgment of Paris… I mean The 2008 Judgment of SF/DC.

Unless you are speaking of white burgundies of France I believe it is an error to have any discussion of European wine without a discussion of food and being very specific about the food you are talking about. Vinho Verde, a wine region that spreads from Porto across to the border of the Port wine region at Peso da Regua has grown up with the regional cuisine of grilled fish, commonly sea bream, sea bass, flounder and a number of other fish that thrive off the deep cold waters near Portugal (sprinkled with Portuguese sea salt), and a delightful soup known as Caldo Verde which typically consists of golden potatoes pureed, onions, a Portuguese cabbage very similar to Collards cut corsswise into thin strips, olive oil and thinly sliced chourizo. It is the natural light sparkling quality that gives a fresh taste while paired with these foods.
