Last week I was chatting with my local liquor store guy
because I was looking for a light wine for summer drinking. I wanted something
that was almost like sparkling, but not sparkling.
In his best Pittsburgh accent, the liquor dude recommended a
Vinho Verde (aka VeeeNo V-AIR-dayh in Pittsburgh-ese).
Liquor dude was right! He led me to the Broadbent Vinho Verde
which was priced under $10. According to the website, this wine is made in
Portugal and has won some nice media accolades like Food & Wine’s Top Ten
Best Summer Wines and a top pick by Bon Appetit.
The alcohol percent is 9 and its recommended food pairing is
fish, shellfish and poultry. For those that took Spanish a decade ago, you may
remember that “verde” translates to “green” and you may notice that the wine
has a hint of lime color.
If you tend to like Pinot Grigo or sparkling wine, this is
totally up your alley if you are looking to try something new this summer!
I will certainly be trying this out - sounds perfect for summer! I love that guy's Pittburgese haha
