Friday Wine Tasting: Wines That Don't Suck At All

Friday, July 23rd

5:30 - 8:30 pm

$15/person for 5 wines + artisanal cheeses from Auntie Em's

Two of the wines were in a fight to be on our homepage right now... the San Bres red and the Quita Do Correio White...the red won out but the white is an equally good deal.  At the heart of the melon and citrus flavors of this white wine is the powerful Encruzado varietal, blended with Malvasia Fina, Bical and Cerceal. Although the Malvasia is bone dry, its unique honeydew melon flavor and scent , providing the captivating aroma and soft, rich fruit that pervade the structure given by the Encruzado, Bical and Cerceal maintain the crisp acidity of the wine.  If those last two sentences didn't sound natural, it's because I copied and pasted the importer's notes, which we happen to agree with.  Normally we would just say 'it doesn't suck at all' but their words were a little more colorful.

And the San Bres red....it doesn't suck at all.
