    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!

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