    Wine Exploration – Casal Garcia a Great Patio Pounder

    /3 Comments

    It’s a Wine Up Wednesday and for this wine exploration, we are tasting Casal Garcia a great patio pounder! A Vinho Verde from northern Portugal!

Have you ever had one of those moments, a quiet almost sneaky moment, when you are sitting in an idyllic setting, the world is right in your soul, and you just smile? In those peaceful quiet times of reflection, you smile at the beauty before you. You smile at the enjoyment of…

    I really think one of the best summer wines is Sauvignon Blanc. It just rings summer in a glass with its crisp, refreshing approach.

    This wine is a lively sip of a “Spring Day in the garden enjoying a cool breeze” in your glass.  Some wines just do that to my taste buds.  Transport them to a time or place or feeling.  Conundrum white makes you want to sit in your back yard and enjoy the warm Spring air during the time just before Summer arrives.  The weather is turning warmer and it makes my wine selections begin to turn to Roses, Whites and lighter bodied Reds.  Time to let the jammy, spicy reds and heavy whites age for a bit in the rack. The change in seasons makes me want to experiment more…
