Wine & Words

From the Sunflower painting on the label to the tiny bubbles in the glass, this easy-drinking wine is a great summertime thirst quencher. Vinho Verde is a Portuguese wine from the Minho region in the far north of the country. The name literally means "Green Wine", referring to its youthful freshness rather than its color. It's only 9% alcohol, so it makes a fine drink when you get home from work or come inside from the yard. Chill it ice cold and serve it with a slice of lemon or lime. Aaah!
