Summer Vinho Verdes

I love Total Wine. There aren't many places where you get that kind of selection with that level of knowledge. Sigh... I'm on a Spanish and Portuguese wine kick now that the weather is getting warm. Try these Portuguese Vinho Verdes for a light, refreshing alternative to cava.

I love theme for the light crispness with just a touch of sparkle. At 9-10% alcohol, they won't go to your head the way higher alcohol whites might. They make for a lovely sipper alone on the back porch or a great pairing with a salad, light fish dish or Asian fare like a spicy Thai or sushi!
